A year after selling the body of production equipment I'm still left

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?

You can sell everything in an auction.

You certainly can. I've seen whole towns and girls' -virginity- sold
on eBay, for a taste of the gamut. g


Call Cincinnati Industrial Auctioneers.

That's probably not a bad idea. Auctioneers can jack up the action so
idiots are bidding against each other enough to pay for the auction
fees, and get him a better price than a "help me out" ad.


Warning!! Before picking an auctioneer...get reviews from past
customers! Ive seen an auction company come in and nearly give away
everything in the factory. When $10k machines are going out the door
for $900...to dealers..who then take them back to their storefronts
and quickly sell them for $10k-15k...something is seriously wrong.


Gunner, while your recommendation is a solid one, even good
auctioneers have bad auctions from time to time, I love those.


Right. As a BUYER, bad auctioneers are truly wonderful. g
