Buying from Dunn Bros Auction is Easy
Dunn Bros Auction is committed to providing a seamless and transparent buying experience for our valued customers. Whether you're a seasoned buyer or a first-time bidder, we've got you covered.
Live Onsite & Online Auctions with Pre-Bidding Option
Our auctions are held both onsite at our state-of-the-art facility and online for your convenience. We also offer a pre-bidding option, allowing you to place bids in advance if you're unable to attend the live auction.
Expert Commentary and Live Video Feed
During the auction, our experienced auctioneers will provide live commentary, ensuring you're up-to-date on the bidding action. You can also watch the auction live from the comfort of your home or office via our high-quality video feed.
Reserved Auctions for Buyer Protection
All our auctions are reserved, meaning that each lot has a minimum selling price set by the seller. This protects buyers from overpaying for machinery and ensures a fair and transparent bidding process.
Provisional Sales for Mutual Benefit
In cases where the reserve price is not met, the auctioneer may announce the lot as a "provisional sale." In these instances, we act as intermediaries between the buyer and seller to negotiate a mutually agreeable price.
Legally Binding Bids and 48-Hour Post-Sale Negotiation
All bids placed at Dunn Bros Auction are legally binding. However, if the reserve price is not met and the lot is declared a provisional sale, the seller has 48 hours after the auction to accept your highest bid. This allows for further negotiation and ensures both parties are satisfied with the outcome.
