National Commercial Auctioneers Expands Into Commercial Equipment Auctions

TULSA, Okla., Jan. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- National Commercial Auctioneers [www.natcomauctions.com] launched a new commercial equipment auction division.  In partnership with ProxiBid, NCA will be selling all types of commercial equipment for bankers, bankruptcy trustees and corporations throughout the United States.

NCA has consignments for it's first Heavy Equipment Sale totaling over One Million Dollars. "We have secured consignors from Ohio, Louisiana, Texas and several here in Oklahoma with one thing in mind, gaining liquidity from their equipment," comments Stephen Karbelk, CAI, AARE, President and Founder of National Commercial Auctioneers.

The new equipment division will be managed by Steve Sorrell, an auctioneer and experienced equipment trader with over 20 years in the truck and trailer business.  

"Providing our online auction service to our corporate clients is an exciting part of the business for me," says Steve Sorrell.  "Our platform reaches buyers in all vertical markets in all major parts of the equipment business, including transportation, construction, and manufacturing equipment."

National Commercial Auctioneers has a strong focus on providing auction services in the commercial space, whether it's commercial real estate, commercial equipment or other commercial assets.  By offering equipment auctions along with its real estate auctions, NCA becomes a turn key solution for its clients that have a diverse set of assets to liquidate.  

"Unlike other companies that simply list equipment on an auction website and hope the buyers find out about it, we have taken the approach that an online auction is just like every other auction we do," comments Stephen Karbelk.  "Just like a live auction event, we widely advertise it, the buyer has the opportunity to inspect the equipment, and we proactively pursue likely buyers to make sure they know about the auction event.  Instead of showing up at the property, they simply show up online."  

Their next scheduled auctions include an Agriculture/Equine Equipment Auction in Early March and another heavy equipment auction set for mid March 2011.  The latest catalog of equipment is available on their website at www.natcomauctions.com.   NCA expects to be adding new commercial equipment on a weekly basis.  

"We will continue to be a leader in selling commercial real estate at auction around the country.  Our sales have doubled this year over last year, and we expect to continue that pace into 2011," projects Karbelk.
