So, you have a salvage dry van trailer for sale, but don’t exactly know how to sell it. With multiple ways to sell salvage, it can seem like an unconquerable task to figure out where exactly you want to sell. However, with the right information and team by your side, selling salvage can be a breeze. Here at Heavy Salvage, we’ve put together some tips and tricks to help make selling salvage trailers easier for you. 

Start Small and Start Researching

When it comes to selling your salvage dry van trailer, one of your main concerns may be getting top dollar for your trailer. That’s where finding the right online auction site is essential. However, before you pick an auction site to list your salvage, consider these questions:

Before you list your trailer you will also want to take the time to research trailer pricing and industry trends. While salvage yards and online auctions offer a base estimate of how much your salvage vehicle is worth, it is always good to do prior research. Most auction appraisers can offer a best guess estimate of your vehicle’s value, but no one knows your salvage trailer better than you. Thus, take note of the ins and outs of your dry van salvage, as you never know what can increase your vehicle’s salvage value. Knowing the potential value of your salvage can help you negotiate the best bid offers. 

Choosing the right place to sell

Now that you are equipped with a rough estimate of how much your salvage dry van trailer is worth, you are ready to list your salvage trailer. When looking to list your dry van salvage it is important to choose the right auction platform. To get the highest value for your salvage, you want to list your trailer with an auction site that can deliver bidders. The more eyes on your listing the more likely you are to get multiple bids. 

One of the more common methods of selling salvage is through online salvage auction sites. Most insurance companies, individuals, and salvage resellers use these sites to advertise and sell their trailer salvage due to the various benefits it offers. 

Benefits of Online Salvage Auctions

One of the benefits of online auctions is that they have an expansive reach, and thus, they’re a favorite choice for sellers. With a plethora of buyers looking for salvage, sellers won’t find it difficult to find a buyer for their dry van trailers. Due to the reach online auctions have, sellers are not confined to buyers in their immediate area as anyone from anywhere can participate in online auctions. This allows sellers to have a wider array of buyers and bids that they can choose from. 

Additionally, online salvage auctions offer seller protections that other platforms do not have. While each site is different from Heavy Salvage's online auction format, we use a blind-bidding method. In this method, buyer profiles remain anonymous to the seller. This method ensures that each bid is protected and we can provide a fair sale. Plus, we require bank proof from each buyer that they have a large enough line of credit to make their purchase. This protects buyers and sellers both.
