2021 auction attracted 17,700+ online bidders from 61 countries, with approximately 90% of the equipment purchased by Canadians, including 57% sold to Alberta buyers. The remaining 10% of the equipment was sold to international buyers from as far away as Australia, Belgium, and New Zealand.

“We continue to exceed customer expectations with equipment and truck pricing in 2021. It’s not just one asset category either—as we’ve showcased in our monthly Market Trends Reports, pricing is strong across the board right now. Last week in Edmonton we sold an unused 2022 Kenworth T880 truck tractor for CA$232,500! We also saw an uptick in demand for oil and gas-specific assets, like boom trucks. It’s a seller’s market right now and I encourage interested consignors to contact us today to get their surplus equipment featured in one of our many upcoming online events.”
