Eric, Bill and staff were honest, professional and easy to work with.

We were impressed with the set-up and the removal process. They left our building cleaner than it has ever been!

Eric kept his word with every step of the process and was a true pleasure to do business with. I would recommend Quaker City to anyone considering an auction!

We at Vitols Tool & Machine Corporation are extremely delighted to recommend Quaker City Auctioneers for any liquidation, appraisal, and/or selling of equipment that you need.  

Vitols was a second generation, family run business for 60 years and the decision to liquidate was not an easy one, but choosing QCA turned out to be a good one.  Eric is knowledgeable of the Machine Shop Business and his staff, (Bill, Frank, and Scott) did a great job of preparing the machinery, organizing, and cataloging all the tooling, even the office supplies and furniture.

We were very pleased with the Auction, did better than expected, and we highly recommend Quaker City Auctioneers.

After attending auctions of Quaker City Auctioneers for over 45 years, Arco Sales Co. was faced with a lost lease and corporate restructuring in a tight 5-wk timeframe. Eric Merback promptly assessed our situation and committed to this timeframe. 

Interrupting their other projects, Eric, Cindy, Bill and his crew set up our project in short order and processed a smooth, timely and successful auction. All members of QCA were professional, competent, knowledgeable and efficient. I have already and will continue to recommend their firm with no reservations.

The QCA Staff was hard-working, knowledgeable and courteous. They were well organized and handled my auction efficiently. The sale went better than expected!

When we made the decision to auction our tools and equipment at Valley Precision, there was nowhere else to turn, except to Eric and his team at QCA. Over the last 20 years, I used the QCA team to appraise equipment for several acquisitions and they were very professional and accurate.

Eric and his team handled every aspect of our equipment sale at Valley. He delivered a higher result then we all expected and worked hard with all the riggers and buyers to remove everything from our building. We were able to complete the auction on time and deliver the building to its new owner.

I would highly recommend QCA for your project.

STAFF:  Eric and his staff (Bill, Frank and Scott) were excellent in preparing and setting up our shop for the auction. They were easy to work with, checking with us before making decisions, asking for our suggestions and taking them into consideration. They were hard workers, honest, polite and had a good sense of humor.

SET-UP/REMOVAL:  The set up was well organized due to the staff’s experience and hard work. They were considerate of our input. Their additional cleaning of the machines made for a great appearance for the auction.  They were attentive to detail and very much were in control of the inspection day. The removal went smoothly with good control over payment and the release of items that was well supervised and aided by the staff. All sold items were removed was from our 35,000 sq. ft. shop in 2 weeks. Our experience with QCA was enjoyable and the outcome exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them.

Bill and Frank organized the place in ways I wouldn’t have thought of.  There is a way to set up for an auction and they are very good at it. 

The staff was very experienced and really knew their stuff for set-up and removal. Riggers came in and cleaned the place out, which was the main goal.

The auction did better than I expected. Eric is a very good auctioneer and knew the machine shop business!  Thank you so much for helping me to retirement! Good luck to all and your families.

The staff was knowledgeable and kept me informed thru the whole process.  The set-up and removal was handled well.

I was extremely pleased with the auction from start to finish.  The results far exceeded my expectations.

On behalf of Steve and myself we wanted to thank you for your handling of our equipment auction held this past September 2018. Closing our foundry after so many years of operation was an extremely difficult process for us. However, you and your people made it bearable. We found you, Bill and Frank to be totally professional and very courteous of us and our employees; understanding the difficulty of our situation.

We were most impressed by the staging of the equipment and supplies for the auction; paying attention to not only the largest items, but the smallest as well. In addition, your being the contact between the prospective buyers, riggers and us reduced our stress level substantially.

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.
