How to participate in a Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers event

Interested in participating in this week’s Orlando auction or another upcoming Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers auction? All their

events have in-person and online bidding (via desktop or mobile app) and all their events are completely unreserved—meaning no minimum bids or reserve prices.

Mobile equipment is driven in front a crowd of seated bidders (in state-of-the-art auction theaters), while a live auctioneer calls out asking for bids. The auction is simultaneously webcast online for bidders around the world to participate live and in real time.

In 2017, Ritchie Bros. held more than 350 live events, selling more than 382,500 items for 56,850+ consignors!
