About Us

CBM Auctions specializes in the sale of trucks, trailers, fleet vehicles, farm and construction equipment, turf and golf equipment, hardware store and business liquidations as well as real estate and retirement sales. Our turn key auction services can turn an overwhelming situation into a worry free, positive experience.

We can provide a mobile office to conduct the set-up and close out of your auction in a professional manner on any site in any weather condition. Every auction is managed with a state of the art computerized system. Each buyer receives a professional invoice and each seller receives a printed report of all sales. Equipment sells better when buyers are confident that loading and delivery will not be a hassle. We’ve made the investment in our equipment so your equipment brings the highest dollar.

CBM Auctions is best known for its consignment auction at the Lathrop Antique Show Grounds, Lathrop Missouri that is held every March and August. Our consignment auctions are a proven method of marketing, drawing buyers from across the globe. If you have a single piece of equipment or a whole line, the consignment auction by CBM Auctions is a choice you won’t be disappointed in!  

In addition to that we’ve had the pleasure of conducting numerous business liquidation auctions and retirement sales for local companies and patrons. We’ve helped hundreds of families, organizations, and businesses over the years achieve their goals and objectives in buying, selling or liquidating assets, and take pride in the fact that many clients have repeatedly used their services over the years.  

CBM Auctions where “buying and selling made simple” is our mission. Contact us today so we can turn your assets to cash!
