They will put it in its own section amongst the machinery and advertise it as a dispersal

Regarding the kickers. Yes they exist and you'll find them with whatever advertising platform you use.
I'm my experience a good professional advert with plenty of good photos, an honest description and most importantly a realistic price will filter out most of the idiots.
I think I sell 3/4 of my stuff without the buyer viewing it. Often with only a handful of messages. Don't even speak to the vast majority.
You'll also find that better quality items attract better quality buyers. Junk attracts idiots

Online timed auction would be the easiest to try first. Put your reserve on and if it doesn't sell, it doesn't even need to leave the yard.

It’s a lottery selling anything, on line is the new format, but farmers are a funny bunch and love a day out ! So both have pro’s, but both have con’s, fb is a keyboard torture, you have to decipher the idiots from the genuine!

There are idiots in whatever format you use.
I just advertised a muck spreader for a "local elderly farmer" (aka @Grassman ) on Facebook.
It sold within 10 minutes and have 4 others to ring if it falls through.

Facebook Market Place is a good place to sell equipment.
Some good clear pictures.
A fair and detailed description
The right price, and it will sell !!
A good example:

Ford TW35 for sale Have owned this tractor for a number of years now and has probably only done 1000 hours max in the last 15 year but new house & lack of use forces very reluctant sale Mechanically...

I agree, who is going to buy that pile of scrap for £4k ?
Some people look through very strange eyes.

I've never seen a definitive law or whatever that states wether a dealer should sell something fully guarded.the amount of machinery selling with no pto guard is unreal! or a digger thats got to ton of crap on the undercarriage, all saying well maintained!
However I never sell anything without a new or very good guard. Just not worth it

“I've never seen a definitive law or whatever that states wether a dealer should sell something fully guarded.”
I think if a machine is to be of satisfactory quality and fit for its purpose ie basic sale of goods business to business , then a functioning pto shaft is going to be needed.

The auction marts that are running collective sales or full dispersals through the online platform auctionmarts.com have been successful up here. Contact your local auction mart and see what they are doing.

What you must do?
If you supply, whether for payment or not, second-hand equipment for use at work you must take steps to ensure it will be safe and without risks to health at all times when being set, used, cleaned or maintained by a person at work, as far as is reasonably practicable (section 6 of the HSW Act). In addition you must also provide adequate information about using the equipment, normally this will be a copy of the original equipment's instructions in English. This duty applies to importers, distributors and suppliers of equipment for use at work, including one-off sales by users and anyone refurbishing equipment for use at work.

A margin is fair enough but it seems they also like people to pay for the yard full of machinery that they haven’t sold yet.
