FAQ’s

How much is my engineering machinery worth?

The value of your engineering and manufacturing machinery depends on factors such as its age, condition, manufacturer, model, specification, hours or usage and current market demand. 

At BPI, we can assess your machinery and use our market knowledge and auction experience to establish a realistic valuation. We can then recommend the best approach for bringing your assets to market and helping you achieve the strongest possible return. 

Where can I sell used engineering machinery?

BPI makes it straightforward to sell used engineering machinery through our online auction platform. 

Whether you have several pieces of metalworking equipment or an entire workshop to clear, we can help bring your machinery to market and connect it with buyers looking for used engineering and manufacturing equipment. 

From asset assessment and photography through to marketing, auction management and buyer collection, BPI can manage the process from start to finish.

How do I sell metalworking machinery?

Selling your metalworking machinery with BPI starts by getting in touch with our team. 

We’ll assess the equipment you have, discuss your requirements and agree the best approach for bringing your assets to market. We can then take care of the cataloguing, photography, lot descriptions, marketing, online auction and buyer collection process. 

Whether you’re selling a single high-value machine or clearing an entire workshop, BPI can provide an end-to-end solution.
