IronPlanet offers a wide variety of construction and agricultural equipment in its weekly Featured Auctions, and this can be a great chance for buyers to score deals on the equipment they need. Using IronPlanet is simple, but it is a bit different from bidding in-person. Thus, IronPlanet has made practice auctions available for interested buyers to use before the real bidding begins.
If this is your first time using IronPlanet, you should definitely take the time to visit the practice auction section of the site before that week's featured auctions begin. The practice page is designed to play out much like the real auction will, so buyers can get a feel for what they're doing.
Just like in the weekly auctions, buyers using the practice section of the site can look up items, view photos and read IronClad Assurance inspection reports. The practice section also allows interested buyers to submit bids for an item. This is a good chance for buyers to utilize the PriorityBid and Watch List features of the site so they know how they work when the big auction day comes.
With a little bit of practice under your belt, you'll find that bidding on IronPlanet is easy, and even fun. Taking the time to familiarize yourself with all the features IronPlanet has to offer is a great way to prepare yourself for an auction and ensure you're a seasoned pro by the time the auction begins. This way, you can ensure that you get your bids in on time for the tractors, dump trucks, excavators, cranes and other equipment you've had your eye on.
