Working with Boom & Bucket

In late 2021, Metrocell was winding down a large remote power out project. With the excess fleet of trucks now coming back, it was time to rightsize for the jobs ahead. The owner, James, was busy with new projects, including building a new Metrocell Headquarters building and didn't have the time to sell his machines. He'd experienced auctions before and knew that he wouldn't get a fair price if he sent his equipment there. Instead, he teamed up with Boom & Bucket to sell:

1. Two Mercedes Sprinter Vans 3500

2. Kenworth T800 Dumptruck

3. International Flatbed with Lift Gate.

First, a comprehensive mechanical inspection was conducted to determine if any maintenance issues needed to be outlined for prospective buyers. Each machine was in fair condition, with obvious signs of use, but overall they were operable and ready for their next job. Next comprehensive photos and videos were taken to showcase functionality. Last, a digital listing was created for sale of the machine and syndicated across the world on multiple different online channels to attract buyers.

The Impressive Outcome

The result of these efforts was astounding. Across the four transactions, Metrocell garnered an average bid of 53.1% more than the estimated value they would have received through an unreserved auction. The triumph extended beyond monetary gain; it provided Metrocell the freedom to focus on their ongoing business operations while Boom & Bucket took charge of selling their used construction equipment.

James Culwell expressed his satisfaction, stating, "I love this job and the fact that Boom & Bucket will take care of everything and get me a fair price."
