“Your new
Web auctions are a great help to the woodworking industry.
We had a large building packed full of idle machinery. With your services, we were able to quickly sell all the equipment in about eight days. The large building that once housed all this equipment was then turned into a manufacturing facility. Proceeds from the auction were reinvested in the new equipment needed for this project. We thought about having an auction on the premises, but the equipment was packed tight against each other, we did not have the time and the expenses would have been cost prohibitive. IRS's auction services enabled us to reach buyers that would not have attended an auction at our plant. It certainly is fascinating! Through your unique service, we were able to use the sale of our older equipment to increase our productivity. The buyers were able to purchase used equipment at realistic market prices and will use the machinery to increase their own productivity. A positive experience for everyone.” Republic Industries - Engineer Marshall, TX Randy Owens |

“I had no idea that the process of auctioning our woodworking equipment assets would be so easy and yield results exceeding our expectations. Your services provided capital for new equipment purchases and saved us valuable time that we needed to prepare for our new facility. During the sale you brought us a global buyer base which attributed to the sale’s success. It would have been cost prohibitive and impractical for the overseas buyers to attend our auction in person. Your virtual auction environment not only helped us sell our plant assets, but provided equipment and created new opportunities for others in the woodworking industry. The way your system generates automatic communication works flawlessly! The notifications we received couldn’t have been quicker. We were kept informed every step of the way and it was much appreciated!
In conclusion,
your services yielded us a 62% increase over our anticipated
return. This capital was reinvested into modern manufacturing
techniques, thus increasing our productivity.” |

“Great job IRS!” “Why didn’t somebody come up with your web auction concept years ago? I am an avid auction buyer who always spends time attending “on location” auctions. Since your web auctions have come out, I haven’t had the need to travel to an “on location” auction for the last two years. What a timesaver!” “We saved a ton of money without being gouged by machinery dealers. Our plant processes 26 million board foot of lumber a year. I’m a busy guy and I don’t have extra time to travel to auctions. Your service allows me to attend woodworking auctions without leaving the plant.”

“For me, it’s been awesome!” “It’s saved me money in that I used to travel all over the country many times a year to try to buy at live auctions. This past year I haven’t gone to one. I have an 80,000 square foot plant with over 160 employees to keep running. I need to be here. It’s a lot easier participating in your web auctions than traveling to one.” “I like your website the best. I can see what’s going on, I know when the auctions end and it feels like I’m at an auction even though I’m comfortably sitting in my office. I have no suggestions for improvement.” “The money that I save on your website allows me to practice “Lean” manufacturing techniques, which focus on “right sized" equipment placed throughout the production line to facilitate "flow". With your website, I can afford to place multiple pieces of the same equipment in various lines eliminating "bottle neck central processes", much improving the flow of work. In this way, your services have helped to improve our productivity.”

“Your website is saving my company a ton of money!” “I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your IRS Auctions.com website. To be able to look at used equipment online saves me valuable time and money.” “I appreciate not having to drive or fly to auctions anymore. I get a better view from pictures than sometimes can be had in poorly lit factories. Also, the descriptions and specifications are very important and the complete listings you provide are very well done.” “Today, I was not a successful bidder, but I have been in the past, and expect to be in the future. Your staff has been excellent in follow-up info, (i.e. names of riggers and equipment handlers that specialize in careful transport of machinery).” “Keep up the good work and thanks for helping me be more efficient by saving my time and saving my company travel expenses.”
