Cannabis and Hemp Auctions

Create a Cannabis Equipment and Farming Marketplace

Cannabis and hemp auctions provide a structured, legal, and efficient method to distribute inventory ranging from grow equipment and packaging to consumer-ready products, extracts, and industrial goods. With high demand, diverse buyers, and scalable inventory, these auctions turn idle stock into consistent revenue.

Our auctions are typically online and bid at the item with smartphone on item inspection day, offering transparent previewing for licensed buyers while enabling mobile bidding and remote participation across compliant markets.

💡 Why Cannabis and Hemp Auctions Work

1. Owned Inventory, High Margins

With typical markups of 300%, owned cannabis/hemp product auctions offer significant profitability—especially in fast-moving SKUs.

2. Industry-Friendly Buyer Fees

A 5% buyer premium keeps acquisition costs low while maintaining a consistent revenue stream for the seller.

3. No Listing Fees or 3rd-Party Platforms

Unlike commission-based marketplaces, Selling Lane gives you full control—no per-item charges or platform percentages.

4. Shipping Revenue & Convenience

With average shipping fees of $14 per item, buyers cover fulfillment while sellers maintain operational consistency.

5. Recover More with Deal Working

Selling Lane’s deal working system helps close post-auction offers on items that don’t hit reserve, raising your sell-through rate by up to 10%.
