Buy at Ritchie Bros.
Strictly unreserved auctions: no minimum bids or reserve prices
Every item is sold to the highest bidder on auction day.
Always open to the public
Anyone can register to bid at our auctions, at no charge.
Bidders set the prices, not sellers
Sellers are forbidden by contract from bidding on their own items. That means there's no artificial price manipulation, so you can confidently buy at fair market value.
Huge selection of trucks and equipment
Some people describe our auctions as "equipment supermarkets". We sell more used equipment than anyone, so you'll find exactly what you're looking for in an upcoming auction.
Ability to inspect, test and compare equipment
You'll find detailed equipment information and close-up photos on our website. You can also inspect, test and compare equipment (or have a mechanic do it for you) at the auction site before you buy.
Handy buyer services
Protect your investment and get it ready for work with our buyer services—finance your auction purchase, arrange equipment transportation or invest in all-risk insurance.
Clear title – or your money back
We identify and arrange for the release of any liens or encumbrances on the equipment we sell. If we can't deliver clear title, we offer the buyer a full refund of the purchase price. That means the equipment is ready to be put straight to work—for you.
Equipment financing available
Ritchie Bros. Financial Services has the used equipment expertise needed to extend your financing terms far longer than banks and other lenders and provide flexible financing that works for your equipment needs.
The selection of equipment is incredible, the pace of the auction is fast, and the whole process is very fair and efficient.
