“We spoke to a lot of happy consignors after the auction, as we continue to drive record-breaking demand and strong returns,” said Chuck Roberson, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros.

“For customers unable to get what they needed in this week’s auction we have a ton more upcoming buying opportunities, including two auctions in Houston next month and our next Fort Worth sale in September where we will welcome back customers for auction day.”

Mr. Roberson continued, “The pandemic has made online buying more common, but customers have told us they miss the camaraderie and networking of being there in person. Our auctions have always been about more than equipment—it’s also an industry event for many of our customers.”
