How to Buy at Auctions

Looking to attend one of our auctions? At Dakil, we offer a variety of auction types, some of which have their own unique processes and requirements in order to make a purchase.

Below, you’ll find some information about each type of auction we facilitate, along with insight into how you may go about bidding and buying.

Heavy Equipment

Dakil is Oklahoma’s largest heavy equipment auction house. Our heavy equipment auctions are held quarterly, and we always offer an expansive selection, which provides a great opportunity to expand your fleet, upgrade, or acquire specific machinery your business or property is lacking for a much lower price point.

Our heavy equipment auctions typically include:

  • Dozers
  • Backhoes
  • Excavators
  • Forklifts
  • Cranes
  • Trenchers
  • All types of heavy trucks and trailers

Equipment pictures and a catalog are added to the auction listing the week of the sale, allowing buyers to browse the auction inventory ahead of time. Unless otherwise noted, heavy equipment auctions are held on-premises at our facility, and you can inspect prospective purchases at our location ahead of the sale. Buyers can bid in person at the sale, or take advantage of our online bidding system offered via Proxibid. Payment is due immediately upon sale.

Real Estate

Dakil Auctioneers puts on several real estate auctions in Oklahoma every year, including residential, commercial, industrial, and raw land.

Dakil real estate auctions are open to the public, and we require only basic information in order to place a bid. We always provide open houses prior to our real estate auctions, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the property in person beforehand.

Please note that if you place the winning bid, you must provide 5 percent of the contract price as a down payment when signing the contract. We recommend obtaining a pre-approved loan for the real estate before attending the auction in order to ensure a smoother sale.

Gun

Throughout the year, Dakil hosts several gun auctions that appeal to both avid collectors and new buyers. We typically acquire guns for auction from business liquidations, and also individual consignors with large or small collections. Our gun auctions include ammunition, targets, scopes, and many other accessories in addition to the firearms themselves, so there is always something for every need and preference.

We are also very deliberate in ensuring that state laws are followed for all parties involved. Firearm purchases are limited to individuals age 18 or older who have not been convicted of a felony, and we can always help out in regards to any paperwork and documentation required.

Dakil provides a period of inspection for buyers to examine the items for sale prior to the auction, with the exact date provided in our listings and advertisements. The auctions take place on-site at our facility, and are also available online.

Auto

Dakil’s car auctions give buyers the chance to purchase quality pre-owned vehicles while avoiding the hassle and stress of dealing with salespeople at a dealership. Our auto auctions are always open to the public, so you don’t have to worry about being denied entry for not holding a dealer’s license.

Prior to the auction, buyers can come to our property and inspect the vehicles that will be in the sale, which allows you to examine any automobiles of interest. We generally provide a list and photos of vehicles in an upcoming sale the week of the auction itself, so be sure to check the listing when it’s posted in our schedule.

Auctions take place in our on-site facility, but you are also more than welcome to place your bid via our online portal. Payment is due in full after the winning bid is placed. Buying a vehicle through a typical used car dealer can be an intimidating and time-consuming experience.

Business Liquidation

Dakil Auctioneers offers business liquidation sales on a routine basis, serving a variety of niches. Our expansive facility allows us to hold a wide range of inventories, providing buyers with the chance to take advantage of low prices they won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Our business liquidation auctions are always listed on our schedule here on the site, with full details provided within the listing in regards to the type of business, and the assets that will be up for sale. Buyers can bid during the auction at our on-site facility, or take part in the auction online.

Restaurant Equipment

Whether you own a restaurant, plan on opening one, or are merely an avid home chef, Dakil Auctioneers is Oklahoma City’s best choice for acquiring professional equipment and kitchenware for marketable prices. Our restaurant equipment auctions receive inventory from both closed restaurants and locations looking to upgrade, which in turn provides buyers with plenty of opportunities to find any number of items they need.

This includes:

  • Gas and electric ranges
  • Ovens
  • Walk-in coolers
  • Racks and shelves
  • Heavy duty pots and pans
  • Cutlery
  • Signs
  • Tables and chairs

Restaurant equipment auctions take place at our facility, and you are free to bid live online as well. Inventories are typically posted on the auction’s listing the week of the sale.
