Long-time, loyal customer Dave Strauss has been buying and selling through Ritchie Bros. for 25 years for various companies he’s worked with. Currently with A&S Construction – who provide road construction, paving contracting, aggregate materials and ready-mix concrete – Dave knows he can count on Ritchie Bros. when he needs to buy equipment, and when he needs to sell.
At one of our recent auctions to purchase a mechanics trucks, Dave noted that “Ritchie Bros. had the best inventory I’ve seen anywhere recently”. As a buyer, he loves the live auction experience – seeing people, checking out the equipment – be he also loves the ease and convenience of bidding online.
And when it’s time to sell, Dave knows the value Ritchie Bros. brings in our ability to bring in the buyers. “Ritchie Bros.’ marketing and exposure is second to none; they get more eyes on your equipment than anyone else”, he says. With more eyes, Dave gets more competition for his equipment, which gets him the best returns possible.
But it’s more than just that that keeps him coming back to Ritchie Bros. A&S Construction takes advantage of the flexibility of multiple selling solutions available to them, including our live auctions, IronPlanet’s weekly online auctions, and Marketplace-E, our 24/7 online marketplace that offers sellers more control over price. And Dave likes the ease of working with Ritchie Bros. saying, “The reps are attentive and help with entire process”.
