Ritchie Bros. Sets New Online-Auction Record

摘要

On December 7, 2011, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, an on-site and online auctioneer of heavy equipment and trucks, reached and exceeded $ 1 billion in online sales for 2011 alone. Ritchie Bros. introduced its real-time online bidding service in 2002 and now, according to the company, sells more construction, transportation and other equipment over the internet than any other auctioneer-more than $5 billion worth since 2002. Today, one in two people bidding at Ritchie Bros. auctions participate online in real time; the others bid in person at the auction site.
