The decision to sell a fourth generation, family owned business and liquidate it’s assets is a very difficult one. As a machine shop of over 115k square feet, that has been in the same location for over 55 years, we had accumulated a lot of equipment that needed to be moved.Selling these assets and moving them out of the building was not something that we could have accomplished without outside help. We employed the services of Quaker City Auctions to handle the task of moving over 3500 lots of machines, tools, and support equipment out of the building, and we could not have been happier with the final results. Not only was the job handled professionally, the team from QCA was extremely easy to work with. They handled all aspects of the project, and left the building ready for the next owners. The team of Eric, Bill, Frank, and of course Cindy and her office staff made the daunting task easy for our company. All aspects from sorting, cataloging, the auction, and co-ordinating riggers was handled by QCA, and in a very efficient manner.
With the auction complete and the equipment moved, we can look back on our decision to work with QCA as a very good one. I can safely say that we made the right decision, and would highly recommend this company to anyone who is faced with such a difficult task.

I am a private buyer and have been purchasing tools from Quaker City Auctions for several years now and it has been an absolute pleasure. Working with Bill, Eric & Frank in the field, Cindy and others in the office without any issues the entire time, the staff is impressive. The auctions they set up are professional and fair for both the buyer and seller. I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for making this experience for me both profitable and enjoyable, thank you and God Bless.

Thank you for taking time and doing such a professional job on my appraisal!

I wanted to thank you and the staff at Quaker City Auctioneers for an outstanding job on the Icon Identity Solutions auction. The results of the sale were fantastic. The return exceeded budget by 50%! Your team was very organized and professional and the equipment was presented well for the sale. Marketing efforts paid off in great attendance, despite more than a foot of snow the night before the auction. I would strongly recommend QCA to anyone considering a sale. Thank you again!

I’m pleased that we partnered with QCA. Their experience in handling the auction process and familiarity with the local area proved to eliminate any apprehension awarding the project. Their experience and professionalism was evident and resulted in a successful auction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eric and Quaker City Auctioneers and would certainly keep them in mind for future opportunities.

…The rumors are everywhere—this is not the time to have an auction as prices are so low, etc., etc. You convinced me that it is the age of the machinery that counts. Most of out machines are in great condition… I took your advice and your men went to work shining up the machines… for the ‘Big Day.’ I would like to thank your staff for a great presentation… very professional, and of course the bottom line was better than I expected. To sum it up, it was a great day and you called it.

With all the remembering being done about September 11, 2001, I can’t help but think about our first auction. I had come to you with my first Trustee auction, a metal fabricator in South Jersey. It was a national-level auction, and, as luck would have it, we scheduled it for 2 weeks after September 11. By the time we all stopped reeling from the shock, you and I were faced with a discussion about what to do since there was the possibility that the “right” people may not get on a plane to attend this auction. I feel like that was the first time that we faced a tough decision together and worked through it. I trusted your instinct to go forward as planned and the auction was successful beyond our expectation. Since then I have come to consider you one of my most trusted resources in my Trustee practice. You constantly give me invaluable, reliable advice as to values, methods of liquidation and industry norms in the most esoteric of situations. I can count that you will do whatever it takes to maximize the value for me and the constituents to whom I answer.

We had the pleasure of working with Quaker City Auctioneers for the liquidation of our Patriotic Ventures steel fabrication and machine shop equipment. They made the whole process professional and stress-free. From start to finish there were no issues and everything was handled in a first class manor. They did what they said they would do, and they did it when they said they would do it. We happily recommend Quaker City and their organization should you need their services. They make it easy!

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help in auctioning my company’s equipment and materials. From the very beginning I feel you were honest in your assessment of the worth of what we had. You explained to me how you would handle everything that had to be done and spelled it out in your contract. You were reasonable about any changes that needed to be made. The auction went off on schedule and was handled from beginning to end in a professional matter. When all was said and done it was very successful. I feel you were the reason for this. I would like to thank you for all your help. I would recommend your company to anyone who is in the situation they need a company like yours.

I just wanted to let you know that I was very impressed on the way you conduct your auctions. I have been to many auctions in my lifetime and I have to say you are the most organized one yet. I just wanted to let you know what I thought of your company.
