“After 58 years in the road construction industry our highly successful family run business decided to close and head to greener pastures. After speaking with multiple auction houses, we made the right decision to go with the Sales Auction Company. Sam Sales and his team of experienced employees came in to market, organize and prepare our yard for a full dispersal of over 45 pieces of equipment plus all the materials, parts and supplies from the past 50+ years. Sam and his staff were very professional and took the time to get to know us and promote our business to get the best results. They took control from the start all the way to the end of the removal. The auction had a great turnout with top dollar being paid for our inventory, and best of all, nothing was left over and everything was removed in a timely and orderly manner. I cannot thank the Sales Auction team enough for the job they did for us.”

“After 40 years in the paving business, the most important decision I made was to have Sales Auction Company manage my Complete Dispersal Auction. The Sales family and staff are friendly, hardworking, and professional. After reviewing Sales’ marketing plan and signing a very comprehensible agreement, I literally gave Sam Sales the keys to my facility, and they did the rest. My yard had limited space, but Sales safely organized and staged the line-up in a market appealing manner, which yielded generous prices across the board. No Hassles, No Drama, No Post Auction Cleanup Needed, No Regrets, Just a Great Experience.”

“I want to let people know about Sam and his family at Sales Auction. Sam and his workers go above and beyond when it comes to auctions. I have been going to many auctions over my 35 years in business. Some are ok and some are great to deal with. I’m sure anyone who has had to deal with auctions knows what I’m talking about. When you meet Sam, he treats you like a friend. I have purchased many pieces of equipment from him over the years and have never had a problem with anyone in his office or in the yard. If Sam shakes your hand and tells you he’s going to do something, you can count on that. Most people are all about contracts and agreements being signed, not that you don’t get a contract, but Sam’s word is worth more than words on paper. After many years in the business, it was time for me to downsize and sell off what I’d accumulated over the years. It was a big undertaking. It also was a very large turning point in my life. I wanted someone who understood this wasn’t just a business, it was a family working together for a very long time. I researched all the auction houses but knew Sales Auction Company would be the best choice. They handled all the permits to allow us to have the auction at my job site. That’s something above and beyond what anyone else would do. They met with me on many occasions to go over what I thought were fair numbers for all the equipment, large and small. When the day arrived, The Sales Auction Crew arrived at my site, and everything went smoothly. The event went off without any glitches and we received the amounts we thought were right. I always felt like I had known Sam my whole life, and his family. To this day we are still friends. I go to auctions all the time for things and always enjoy going to Sam’s to chat and reminisce. If anyone feels a need to get a recommendation, please don’t hesitate to call me. I’m sure you know how to get in touch with me.”

“After almost 40 years of dedicating myself to building a very successful business, the decision to have a retirement auction was difficult. However, the decision as to selecting the Auction Manager after seeing what they had done for other contractors was easy; Sales Auction Company. By some, my auction may have been considered a minor event. Based on the quality of the marketing, set-up and performance, Sales Auction Company treated my auction as an event of major importance. The Sales Team maintains a level of personal pride, professionalism and attention to detail that is hard to come by in today’s business environment. Well attended, Strong Prices, orderly removal, prompt settlement. My thanks for a job well done.”
