A year after selling the body of production equipment I'm still left
with presses, machine tools, welding equipment, office equipment,

would like to just hire a person to advertise, meet with buyers and sell
the stuff for a reasonable return. What would be the best way to find
somebody and what would be a good way to compensate him?


There are companies that appear to sell used equipment as a business.
You might look at:

http://www.tradequip.com/

https://www.rigzone.com/search/c/com...sed_equipment/

Although these two companies specialize in oil field equipment there
must be other companies that do the same for plant equipment.
