The Industrial Auctioneers Association (IAA) is the world's first and only association comprised solely of industrial machinery and equipment auctioneers. IAA auctioneers combine unparalleled industrial auction experience with the highest ethical and professional standards. IAA auctioneers sell more than one billion dollars worth of machinery and equipment annually from virtually every industry and every part of the world. No machinery is too specialized. No industry is too obscure. The purpose of IAA is to promote the use of auction sales as the best method for selling idle industrial equipment and to promote IAA members as the best qualified to conduct such sales. We further pledge to establish guidelines for the ethical conduct of all our members, who represent the highest level of integrity and professionalism, in dealing with both sellers and buyers of industrial equipment. IAA will promote our members as the standard bearers of those ideals.
