The company's premier global auction just got bigger—auction to
be held February 19 – 24
ORLANDO, FL, Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Due to strong early
demand from consignors, Ritchie Bros. has decided to set the stage
for its premier global auction in Orlando, FL to be even bigger this
year—extending the event to six days. Starting on Monday, February 19 and running through
Saturday, February 24, the six-day
mega-auction will feature items from every industry neatly laid out
across its 200-acre auction site.
"This is a can't-miss event for sellers and buyers across the
country and around the world," said Jeff
Jeter, President (US Sales), Ritchie Bros. "This is not your
average, ordinary, everyday auction. This is a global event with a
selection you won't see anywhere else. Last year we sold more than
11,500 items through the Ritchie Bros. and IronPlanet Orlando
events, attracting bidders from more than 80 countries. This year
we plan to do it even bigger and better, with the best service you
will see anywhere in the industry."
Jeff added, "Adding the sixth auction day really optimizes the
event so that we can grow to include more consignors and ensure
that we aren't selling too late into the evening."
