Introducing Make Offer: IronPlanet's New Way to Buy
Right now you can purchase your heavy equipment at IronPlanet three ways: bid online, attend a live auction, or buy now online. A pretty good list of options, right? Well, at IronPlanet "pretty good" is a distant cousin to going big, so we've created another way for you to upgrade your fleet: Make Offer

A Slate of Options
By adding the Make Offer option to its worldwide, technology-driven, online and on-site auction formats, IronPlanet now offers the industry’s most comprehensive slate of options for both buyers and seller. “Sellers who may have waited to market their equipment through online and on-site auctions now have a clear option to set their own prices, as well as the flexibility to see what offers might come,” said Matt Ackley, IronPlanet Chief Marketing Officer. "For buyers, Make Offer enables us to bring more quality equipment to market, faster.”
