How can I consign and sell items on Gavel Roads?

We will gather all the specifications, create a detailed description, and take pictures of each of your items.

Where is the auction?
The auctions are all held online. The equipment is located all over the country. Each auction indicates the time frame held and where each piece of equipment is located.
Can I inspect the equipment myself?
Our independent inspections provide in-depth reports and extensive pictures on the condition for you to review. If you have the opportunity to make it to the actual site, you are welcome to see it yourself by contacting the seller and making appropriate arrangements. However, our inspections showcase just like you would see in person. This allows you to have confidence in your purchase.
If I sell my item with Gavel Roads can I protect my items with a reserve?
YES! Gavel Roads has the means to allow our sellers to protect their equipment. We will assist you to list your item with a reasonable reserve price. Once the reserve is met, it will sell to the highest bidder.
Who can answer my questions about the equipment?
The seller may have contact information attached to the item selling that you may reach out to for Q&A. Also, our sales representatives are available to answer your questions. Please contact us at 316-425-7732 or complete the “Contact us” form and we will answer your questions promptly.
