Construct Hub Leverages Pre-AuctionTime To Maximize Returns On Customers’ Construction Machinery

    Posted On: September 26, 2025
    Ted Schepmann, owner of Construct Hub, is shown being interviewed at the Sandhills Global Forum in June 2025.

    In June, Construct Hub owner Ted Schepmann spoke with us at the Sandhills Global Forum about how AuctionTime and Pre-AuctionTime give him the exposure to maximize selling prices on his customers’ consignments. The Wichita, Kansas auctioneer helps construction companies, dealerships, and farmers get the most out of their used construction equipment.

    Auction Industry Leader

    “I really fell in love with the AuctionTime platform when I realized the power of the audience behind it,” Schepmann says. “It doesn't seem to matter what we list. There's a buyer for everything… We feel very confident that every week, every sale we have, every Wednesday, we're going to do the best possible job we can for our sellers. We're going to get the most money we can for them. And it's kind of the feeling of ‘no stone has been left unturned.’”

    Schepmann uses his 15-plus years of experience in the construction industry and Pre-AuctionTime to market consignments to retail and wholesale buyers before auctioning the rest. “You know, I believe that the AuctionTime platform has truly emerged as the leader in the auction industry… I don't know of any other auction company that offers this. And even if they did, they still don't have the power of Sandhills behind them with TractorHouse, AuctionTime, Machinery Trader, and Truck Paper. All of these different audiences combined just create a powerhouse audience that I just haven't seen anywhere else.”
