However if you are interested in selling, contact your local representative to discuss our unreserved auction method. We have a variety of auction proposals that can be individually tailored to suit your needs.

Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers is the premier choice for your equipment appraisal project, with experienced and qualified appraisal personnel in over 110 offices around the globe.

To provide you with realistic values, we draw on data compiled from close to 50 years of sales and appraisal history. In 2006, we carried out almost 4,000 appraisals worldwide, and sold 240,000 items in our unreserved public auctions.

While our core business is marketing and conducting auction sales of equipment, an integral part of our business is the evaluation of that equipment.

Our success in these types of transactions is tied to our ability to accurately predict the auction values of the equipment involved. By combining the information in our proprietary appraisal database and our knowledge of most major equipment deals around the world, we have an excellent track record of valuing equipment coming onto the market.

Our objective is to provide a comprehensive appraisal that reflects the market value of equipment if it were to be sold at one of our unreserved public auctions.
