When the time comes to sell your equipment or trucks, consider selling at a Ritchie Bros. unreserved auction.

You'll enjoy certainty, peace of mind and better returns than you can get anywhere else because we deliver:

• aAll-inclusive service, with no hidden fees

  

  Everything’s included when you sell through Ritchie Bros.: appraisals, advertising, storage and display, lien searches, discussions with potential buyers, collection of proceeds and resolution of post-sale issues. You’ll save time and money, and you won’t be surprised by unexpected costs and fees.

• aComprehensive marketing, in print and online

  

  We don’t rush your equipment to sale; we take the time to market it properly. Along with print and online advertising, we use direct mail to target potential buyers from our database of 620,000+ customers in over 200 countries and give your equipment added exposure through our industry-leading web site. More exposure means more bidders from more places on auction day – and that means better results.

• aRegular auctions across the West

  

  We conduct regular unreserved public auctions at our nine sites across the U.S. West. The benefits of selling at a live Ritchie Bros. auction far outweigh the small cost of transportation to the site, which is often less than you think. You’ll reach more bidders and get better returns on auction day. We can also bring the auction to you and conduct a professional auction on a leased site, when that makes sense.

• aLive auctions at high-profile sites

  

  We make sure your equipment is seen by as many potential buyers as possible, including the hundreds who come to our sites to inspect and compare items before the auction. Our highly visible auction sites attract the attention of drive-by traffic, but our live auctions are the real attraction, bringing bidders from across the U.S. and around the world.

• aThe most bidders competing, online and on-site

  

  We offer both on-site and online bidding to ensure that the most bidders compete on auction day: 1,700 people from around the world at an average auction. We sell more equipment to online bidders than any other auctioneer, and yet most people still take the time to come to the auction site and bid in person.

  People like to see what they’re bidding on, especially if they’re looking for specific machines to put to work. These are the people you want bidding on your equipment – not just the people bidding online.

• aCertainty of sale

  

  Every Ritchie Bros. auction is unreserved. That means every item sells to a new owner on auction day, without minimums or reserves. As a seller, you enjoy the certainty of a guaranteed sale date. You also enjoy better returns, because unreserved auctions attract the largest number of potential buyers.

• aFlexible contract options

  

  We work with our customers to tailor a contract that meets their unique needs, including their need for cash and investment in their assets. Most of our customers choose straight commission and receive the proceeds of sale within three weeks of auction day. We also have the financial strength to offer guarantee and outright purchase contract options.
