Straight. Simple. Sold.
Who we are
Purple Wave, the largest no-reserve Internet auction firm in the country, is transforming the way sellers reach buyers to turn assets into cash. Purple Wave specializes in liquidating equipment and vehicles through no-reserve public Internet auctions — providing the easiest and most straightforward way to sell used equipment quickly and efficiently.
The Purple Wave approach to auction maintains the traditional auction experience for buyers and sellers, but affords the convenience that comes with the Internet. From marketing and listing your assets to selling and collecting payment, sellers benefit from a full-service experience. In addition, Purple Wave does not require equipment be moved from the seller’s location which saves the seller time and money.
Recently recognized by Inc., magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States, Purple Wave boasts nearly 100,000 registered buyers and 250,000 monthly visitors to purplewave.com, helping sellers reach a much broader marketplace than traditional auctions.
