The past two years have seen a massive increase in online shopping around the world, with groceries, clothes, TVs, and even heavy equipment and trucks now regularly being purchased online. And with the surge in demand for our online solutions and services, we’ve added new tools to make online equipment inspection and buying easier than ever.
Despite the increased adoption and demand for online buying and selling, our customers continue to tell us how much they value our physical sites. Buyers want to see the gear in person, to kick the tires and judge for themselves. Sellers want the ease of dropping off their equipment so we can handle customer questions and other issues for them.
So, while the past two years have certainly taught us a lot about online marketplaces and new ways to connect with customers, it has also reminded us of the importance of our physical presence. So much so, that we have added more local yards around the world—getting us closer to you, our customers, to serve you better.

Our local yards are making buying and selling around the world even easier and more convenient. Sellers who want to sell at any Ritchie Bros. auction, don’t want to transport their assets far, and want to free up space in their own yard are taking advantage of this option. For buyers, our local yards offer more selection and convenience with large regional auctions featuring equipment stored and available for inspection at different locations.
