“For buying, IronPlanet is a great way to source equipment without having to go through retail dealers. For selling, IronPlanet is very quick. You don’t have to wait and advertise for months and months. You have that finite moment in time where you know what your equipment is worth.” - Paul Burke, Freedom Waste Service

“After years of using onsite auctions to buy equipment, I turned to IronPlanet to purchase a Caterpillar D4 dozer. Often at onsite auctions, the buyer only sees and hears what the seller wants, but this wasn’t the case with IronPlanet. The IronClad Assurance was a major selling point and gave me confidence to bid. The inspection report was very accurate in its description of the machine, which has exceeded my expectations.” - Mark Gerwig, WV Metals
