Restaurant & business auctions in Lexington. 35% done for you, or 25% with my app.
Lexington is a small college town with restaurants and inns, surrounded by Rockbridge County farms. I can handle the whole auction for 35%. Or run it yourself with my Local Liquidators app, powered by Speedy List AI: you do the inventory, the preview and the pickup, and I check, list and market the auction for 25%, one of the lowest rates around.

25%

You use my app and handle showing and pickup, about 3 days.
Seller-run is one of the lowest rates around, and I check every AI description for errors.
How it works in Lexington
I'm based in Waynesboro, about 45 minutes away. You still run the inventory in the app, but I can come out to look things over, help you plan the lots and be a phone call away on preview and pickup days.
Pickup-only auctions draw mostly local buyers, because they have to come get what they win. So your buyers are your Lexington neighbors: other restaurants, farms, contractors, resellers and folks setting up shop.

Tips for a Lexington auction
- Rural pickups go smoother with clear directions. Add a note in the app about the driveway, gate and where buyers should park.
- Snap the data plate on every piece of equipment. Model and serial numbers help buyers bid with confidence.
- Group small stuff into lots (a rack of sheet pans, a box of smallwares) so it's quicker for you and easier for buyers.
