A year after selling the body of production equipment I'm still left
with presses, machine tools, welding equipment, office equipment,
forklifts and tons of other stuff. There will be a state boulevard I
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.


There are quite a few of them. One of the biggest ones owned the
magazine I worked for 15 years ago.

But, as Iggy said, most of them want consignment or they'll just pay
you pennies on the dollar. The best bet is an auction. Iggy knows the
business.
