Success stories
"We used Purple Wave Auction as a method to move our excess competitive equipment out of our AOR on a specific time frame. Purple Wave’s staff was professional and efficient throughout the project. We’d recommend their innovative, turn-key auction service to any other equipment dealership. It is an effective management tool."
Karen Pestinger, General Manager, Carrico Implement
"The Lincoln County Highway Department has used Purple Wave, Inc., several times to sell surplus supplies and equipment. They are a very professional auctioneering company and they treat all items, whether they are large or small, in the same manner."
Larry Meitler, Lincoln County Road Supervisor
“This was my first time using Purple Wave’s services, and I am very happy with the outcome. The total final prices for my equipment were 190 percent of my expectations, which is an outstanding result given the uncertain economy and the challenges I had trying to sell the same equipment on my own for several months.”
Phillip Zillinger, Phillips County Kansas producer
