Is there a minimum amount of equipment you will take on?
Not in the sense of a fixed number. A single machine, a van or a few pallets of stock can go into a shared sale alongside other vendors' lots. What matters is whether the likely sale price justifies the cost of cataloguing and moving it. If it does not, we say so and suggest another route rather than take the instruction.
