Several times each year, J.J. Kane's Charlotte auction in Concord, N.C., turns into an enormous event in which the public has a chance to get deals on hundreds of used cars, trucks, SUVs, flatbed trucks, cranes, pieces of construction equipment, trailers, tools and more.

Sellers include Duke Energy, Dominion Energy and other local, regional and national fleets. Many local governments, contractors, rental companies also consign to these auctions to reduce their fleets and make room for new, replacement vehicles and equipment.

J.J. Kane auctions have no minimums and no reserves. Because the auctions are absolute, bidders set the prices. These are auctions in the truest sense of the word, adding equipment to inventory every day.
