You’ll stretch your dollar thanks to a struggling loonie.

Americans are snapping up Canadian deals on everything from cars to wine and used heavy equipment to vacation properties. The weaker Canadian dollar means American bucks go a lot further in Canada for those quick cross-border trips, online purchases or extended holidays to the Rockies. Meanwhile, as The Financial Post reported, Canadians need a bank loan to buy a head of Californian cauliflower. So go the currency markets.

Join us Wednesday, June 8 for our weekly GovPlanet surplus equipment auction featuring over 300 pieces of equipment.

Cat Auction Services and Finning buy and sell all makes and models

Canadians are astute shoppers, especially when all of their NHL hockey teams are waiting till next year. They’re also seasoned navigators of the mysteries of brand names. They know that Canadian Tire sells more than just tires; that Tim Hortons offers coffee and donuts, not Maple Leaf memorabilia and Hudson’s Bay anchors not boats in harbour, but shopping malls.

On the Canadian stage, Cat Auction Services is a relatively new brand. Understandably, some Canadian equipment owners still believe that the new kid on the live auction block only deals with the Caterpillar brand. If that’s your assumption Canada, as Canadian Jeopardy host Alex Trebek would say, “sorry but you are incorrect.”

Save the date! Please join us Wednesday, June 8, 2016 for our upcoming Unreserved Public Auction in St. Augustine, Florida showcasing equipment from Southeastern dealers. Sellers are offering great deals on all items. Equipment is backed by IronPlanet’s IronClad Assurance® equipment condition certification. Also, certain Cat® equipment will be backed by the Cat Equipment Protection Plan. Onsite preview is available now through June 7, 2016. View equipment and detailed inspection reports.

Coming up next Wednesday, June 1, 2016, a huge onsite Kruse Energy and Equipment Auction, hosted in Loveland, Colorado. This auction will feature a complete liquidation of Faith Drilling, Inc. Look for 7 complete drilling rigs, drill pipe/collars, cementing pumps and bulk trailers, oilfield trucks and trailers, cranes and more. Click HERE for directions and details.
