FORT WORTH, TX — Bidder registrations at Ritchie Bros. auctions continue to surge, with over 10,800 people from 60 countries registering to bid for its summer Fort Worth, Texas, auction. More than 4,400 equipment items and trucks were sold in the July 28-29, 2020 event for $58 million.

Since mid-March all Ritchie Bros. auctions are now online-only events, to help keep employees and customers safe from COVID-19. Approximately 91 percent of the equipment in the Fort Worth auction was sold to U.S. buyers, including 41 percent purchased by buyers from Texas, while the remaining 9 percent sold to international buyers from as far away as Romania, China, and Australia.

"Our 2020 summer Fort Worth auction saw a 42 percent increase in the number of lots and a 108 percent increase in bidders over the same auction in 2019," said Neal Black, Regional Sales Manager at Ritchie Bros. "As a result, we continue to see strong demand for quality used equipment across almost all categories."
