Bidder registrations at Ritchie Bros. auctions continue to surge, with 10,800+ people from 60 countries registering to bid for its big summer Fort Worth, TX auction. More than 4,400 equipment items and trucks were sold in the July 28 – 29, 2020 event for US$58+ million.
Since mid-March all Ritchie Bros. auctions are now online-only events, to help keep employees and customers safe from COVID-19. Approximately 91 percent of the equipment in this week's Fort Worth auction was sold to U.S. buyers, including 41% purchased by buyers from Texas, while the remaining 9% sold to international buyers from as far away as Romania, China, and Australia.
"Our 2020 summer Fort Worth auction saw a 42% increase in the number of lots and a 108% increase in bidders over the same auction in 2019," said Neal Black, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. "As a result, we continue to see strong demand for quality used equipment across almost all categories. For anyone unable to get what they needed in Fort Worth this week, we have an IronPlanet auction today with more than 3,000 items—get online and start bidding!"
