Changing the way you Buy & Sell Machinery
We bring modern technology, expert guidance, and unmatched reach to every metalworking transaction.
Who We Are
Machine Tool Bids is the forward-looking partner for metalworking manufacturers who demand speed, transparency, and real results. Whether you’re clearing a single CNC, restructuring an entire facility, or adjusting your footprint to match market demand, we move fast without sacrificing your bottom line. You get accurate valuations, straightforward timelines, and a team that knows the machine tool market inside and out, because that’s all we focus on.
Our platform connects sellers directly with serious buyers who need reliable metalworking equipment at competitive prices. Sellers free up space and recover value; buyers gain access to proven machines that keep their shops running strong. The result is a more efficient, sustainable marketplace that keeps great equipment in production and keeps the entire manufacturing community moving forward.
We’re not just moving machines, we’re creating opportunity, extending the life of valuable assets, and reshaping how manufacturers think about buying and selling surplus machinery.
What We Do
Built for metalworking manufacturers, MTB offers full facility liquidations, bi-weekly open auctions, and a trusted retail marketplace—driven by precision, speed, and transparency
Facility Liquidations
Your Auction. Our Expertise.
Whether you’re closing or restructuring, MTB provides the experience and market reach required to liquidate a metalworking facility efficiently. Hundreds of successful full-site auctions speak for themselves.
Bi-Weekly Open Auctions
Every two weeks, MTB delivers fresh, metalworking-only inventory direct from manufacturing floors. We provide buyers real savings and never before seen access while providing sellers with a trusted medium to maximize the value of their machines through our unmatched reach.
Why Our Auctions Work:
One Industry, One Focus
Our auctions are metalworking only. That means your machines aren’t buried among food processing, plastics, or unrelated equipment. Every bidder is a serious metalworking buyer, and every sale benefits from focused demand
Qualified Buyers
We don’t outsource our bidders. We’ve built our own qualified buyer base and our own platform, something most auctioneers can’t claim. That means more serious buyers, stronger competition, and consistently better outcomes
Know what you’re buying
Our listings are built for clarity: full specifications, multiple photos, and often video. Buyers know exactly what they’re getting—something most auction platforms can’t match.
Whether you’re closing or restructuring, MTB provides the experience and market reach required to liquidate a metalworking facility efficiently. Hundreds of successful full-site auctions speak for themselves.
