Last week we conducted 24 online auctions across the globe, selling more than 34,000 equipment items over six days. The largest of these events took place in Houston, TX, where we sold US$63+ million of equipment online for approximately 700 consignors.
The June 21 – 23 auction attracted more than 10,000 bidders from the 5,900+ items consigned, with buyers from Texas purchasing approximately 48% of the equipment.
“Our Houston yard was very busy leading up to the auction with customers inspecting, testing, and comparing items prior to bidding online,” said Chuck Roberson, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. “As expected, we continue to drive strong pricing for late-model, low-hour equipment and trucks, resulting in a lot of happy consignors.”
“With Ritchie Bros., everything is first class”
Equipment highlights included 330+ truck tractors, 120+ excavators, 40+ dozers, 20+ cranes, as well as directional drilling equipment, hundreds of trailers, and more.
“When you work with Ritchie Bros. everything is first class,” said Cortney Laney, Vice President & Chief Operating Officer for MDS Boring & Drilling. “They have the best marketing, reach the most buyers, and will get you the most money for your equipment. We sold more than 450 items in last week’s Houston auction and were extremely happy with the results. I’d like to thank Ritchie Bros. and its employees for their professionalism throughout the entire consignment process—they were so friendly, polite, and respectful.” Ritchie Bros. next Texas auction will be held at its Fort Worth site, with onsite bidding and events, on June 19 – 21.
