This week, there are so many items available in the Featured Auction that IronPlanet has extended the sale an extra day. The auction will begin on Wednesday, December 12 and continue through Thursday. Interested buyers may want to head to the online auction site to browse through more than 1,200 listings for used construction equipment, agriculture equipment, tools, parts, trucks and more. This will give them a chance to find the goods they need ahead of the sale so they are ready to bid. Here are a few highlights from this week's sale.

IronPlanet®, a leading online marketplace for used heavy equipment, will host an online auction Dec. 5, at www.ironplanet.com, featuring over 200 items being liquidated by the Utah division of Western States Contracting of Myton, Utah.

The auction includes late model equipment commonly used in the oil and gas, land development, pipeline and other heavy construction industries. Large dozers from Caterpillar and Komatsu will be auctioned, in addition to Tesmec trenchers and motor graders from Caterpillar and Volvo. Excavators and wheel loaders form Caterpillar and Komatsu, off-road trucks and a variety of attachments and accessories are available as well.

When an IronPlanet user needs construction equipment or agriculture equipment, they can place bids on auctions ending on any given day, giving them flexibility. Depending on which auction listing a user wants, there are many ways for users to place bids.
Priority Bids
When a buyer cannot be online during an auction, they are able to place a Priority Bid ahead of time. This allows them to make an offer on an item during a preview, and place a maximum bid at the beginning of the auction, so they do not have to monitor the sale to the end. They can enter the maximum amount of money they are willing to spend, and IronPlanet will automatically keep them in the lead unless they are outbid by another user. Should another user enter a bid that matches the maximum Priority Bid during the live auction, the Priority Bid will be kept in the lead, since it was placed first.

IronPlanet will host its weekly Featured Auction on Thursday, November 1, and this week's sale has more than 850 items available to bidders. Those in need of drill, bore and trench equipment may want to check out the listings, as there are many options for these items in this sale, including road plates, trench shields and multiple lots of drill rods. The Featured Auction includes many other items, from construction equipment such as excavators and skid steer loaders to vehicles such as dump trucks and tractor trailers. With less than 24 hours until the auction begins, it can be a good idea for interested buyers to check out the offerings, so they are prepared to bid when the goods they want reach the auction block.

Those in the market for used construction equipment or agriculture equipment have a number of options when they visit IronPlanet. The online auction site provides two ways to purchase items - weekly Featured Auctions and the Daily Marketplace. Each service provides buyers with the ability to bid on the equipment they need, but there are a few distinct differences that interested bidders should know before choosing one or the other.
IronPlanet hosts one Featured Auction every week. This sale typically takes place on Thursdays, but the company will hold two-day auctions that begin on Wednesdays when there is more equipment on sale. Each item spends between three and 10 minutes on the auction block, giving bidders the chance to compete to win the goods they want. This service may be ideal for those who need to quickly track down cranes, excavators, harvesters or other items. Once the bidding ends, the winner can arrange transportation and get their item as soon as possible.

IronPlanet's weekly Featured Auction is a great place for construction companies, farmers and other labor professionals to find used construction equipment and agriculture equipment for affordable prices. The October 18 sale has more than 800 items, ranging from large machinery such as excavators and compactors to smaller items including tools, parts and generators. Interested buyers can visit the IronPlanet website to browse the selection ahead of the auction and find the goods they need. They can place a Priority Bid on a particular listing or make note of its auction time to be prepared to compete for their goods when the sale begins.

This week's IronPlanet Featured Auction has more than 750 items available, including construction equipment as well as agriculture equipment. With so many choices, interested buyers may want to take a look at the auction offerings to find the items they want ahead of time. The sale begins at 8 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Thursday, October 11, and every listing will have a five-minute window during which individuals can place bids to win the item. Bids can also be placed prior to the auction through the Priority Bid option on the website.

IronPlanet is gearing up for another two-day Featured Auction, as there are more than 1,400 items that will be available on September 26 and 27. There are many different choices for those in the market for either construction equipment or agriculture equipment. Compactors, conveyors, cranes, excavators, farm tractors and dump trailers make up a decent portion of the selection, and there are many other machines, tools and vehicles available as well. Here
are a few highlights from the upcoming auction.

When selling more specialized construction equipment such as backhoe loaders, it can be difficult to find a competitive market of prospective buyers. A number of traditional auction sites are somewhat limited in scope, meaning they may not be able to host a particular item. However, IronPlanet is capable of accommodating a very wide range of equipment, which can make the selling process much simpler.

Equipment buyers and sellers around the world are turning to auction companies to help them quickly and conveniently acquire and dispose.
