The auction business has always been viewed as somewhat recession proof. When times are good, companies need to sell off old equipment to make room for the new. And when times are bad, companies need to sell off old equipment to pay the bills. But in this long-lasting recession and slow recovery, some auctioneers have noticed that this old rule doesn\u2019t necessarily hold true. Struggling businesses still want to sell their equipment, but other struggling businesses don\u2019t have the money to buy it or don\u2019t have the need for it.<\/p>\n
