Sealed Bid Sales Events
Heavy Equipment Sealed Bid Sales
Iron Market helps sellers market verified heavy equipment through confidential sealed bid sales events. Buyers review photos, videos, equipment details, and Preview information before submitting their best offer.
Confidential Bidding
Bids are kept private until the event closes. Other bidders do not see bid amounts, and only each bidder’s highest submitted bid is considered.
Verified Equipment Details
Listings can include independent Preview information, photos, videos, identifiers, hours or miles, and condition details to help bidders make informed offers.
Seller Control
At the end of the sealed bid sales event, offers are presented to the seller. The seller can select a bid or reject all bids.
