Contact your local Ritchie Bros. representative to include your equipment in an upcoming auction.

By selling your equipment in a Ritchie Bros. auction, you are truly selling your equipment to the world. Tens of thousands of bidders travel to our auctions every year because they know they can count on Ritchie Bros. to provide a good selection of both used and unused trucks and equipment.

The Ritchie Bros. unreserved auction method appeals to large numbers of foreign and out-of-region buyers, in addition to local customers. Our buyers also represent a wide selection of industries, providing broader demand than a single local market or industry could provide.

As a result of this and the addition of live Internet bidding to most of our auctions, we are able to deliver you world market prices for your equipment, regardless of local market.

Why Do Your Auctions Appeal to so Many Bidders?

Bidders know that Ritchie Bros. strictly adheres to the unreserved policy of conducting auctions. There are no reserve or minimum prices on any of the items, and the bidder purchases the equipment at fair market value as determined by the bidding.

At Ritchie Bros. this also means that the equipment owner, his agent and Ritchie Bros. itself are forbidden by contract from bidding on or buying back their own equipment.

The transparency of our auctions is part of our competitive advantage; it provides a level playing field so that bidders don't waste their time with minimum prices, reserves or buybacks.

Our bidders know they compete with only other legitimate bids. It's the reason why there were 277,000 bidder registrations at our auctions in 2008!

By attracting buyers from around the world to the sale of your equipment, you can be sure that you will receive the fair world market price for your items. An average of close to 60% of our auction sales go to buyers from outside the region in which the auction is held.
