E Auctions Ireland

E Auctions handles industrial and commercial liquidation sales in Ireland, and the recent calendar shows the range better than any description: seventy-plus boom and scissor lifts, forklifts and vehicles in one sale; food industry machinery in Mitchelstown, County Cork in another; stone masonry machinery, engineering equipment, farm machinery, and three ambulances in a single liquidation lot.

What you can buy

• Access equipment — boom lifts, scissor lifts, forklifts, sold in volume.
• Engineering and workshop machinery.
• Food industry plant.
• Agricultural and farm machinery.
• Specialist vehicles, including ex-service ambulances.
• Stone and masonry machinery.

How the bidding works

Sales are online with bidding closing on a staggered timetable — "ends from 11am on Tuesday" rather than all at once, so lots run down in sequence. The company also runs tender sales alongside the auctions, where you submit a single offer instead of bidding. Current and previous sales are both published.

What to check before you bid

Liquidation goods are collected from the failed business's premises, which for food plant or masonry machinery means arranging a rigger and a lorry to a deadline set by the liquidator. Check the closing format — auction or tender — before planning, because the two need different preparation. Sold as seen, with no warranty from the liquidator.
