Consignment Fees and Commission Structure

Transparency in fees builds trust. At HIGHTRAC, we believe sellers deserve to understand exactly what costs are involved before committing to consignment. Our commission structure is straightforward: we earn when you earn, aligning our interests with your success.

Commission rates vary based on equipment value, type, and sale format. We discuss all fees upfront during your initial consultation, and every charge appears in your consignment agreement before you sign. There are no hidden fees, no surprise deductions, and no charges for marketing or photography.

Most sellers find that auction commission rates compare favorably to dealer trade-in discounts or the time and expense of managing private sales. The competitive bidding environment often produces final prices that more than offset commission costs.

Timeline: What to Expect

Equipment consignment timelines typically range from 30 to 60 days from initial contact to payment receipt. This includes time for equipment evaluation, photography, marketing, the auction period itself, and payment processing. Check our auction calendar to see upcoming sale dates.

The actual auction duration depends on format. Our live simulcast auctions conclude on the scheduled sale day, while timed auctions run for a predetermined bidding window. After the sale closes and buyer payment clears, we process settlement within two to three weeks.
