Approximately 90% of the assets in the auction were sold to U.S. buyers, including 40% to Texans, while the remaining 10% was sold to international buyers from as far away as Egypt, Spain, India, and New Zealand.

"We spoke to a lot of happy consignors after the auction, as we continue to drive record-breaking demand and strong returns," said Chuck Roberson, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros.

Mr. Roberson continued, "The pandemic has made online buying more common, but customers have told us they miss the camaraderie and networking of being there in person. Our auctions have always been about more than equipment?it's also an industry event for many of our customers."
