A private treaty equipment sale, sometimes referred to as negotiated, sealed-bid, or tender sale, is one in which non-published bids are submitted within a specified period. The seller decides which bid to accept when the bidding period is closed. Private treaty sales are unique because the winning bid need not be the highest bid. Federal Equipment Company organizes and promotes numerous used industrial equipment private treaty sales throughout the year.
