Proxibid (www.proxibid.com), the world’s largest real auction marketplace, is heading into one of its busiest months of the year. This September marks the strongest September in Company history, with a total of 845 auctions on the calendar, of which 120 are Heavy Equipment and Farm Machinery auctions. Proxibid auction agents will provide on-site assistance at 53 events, which translates into 102 agent days or more than 1,000 man-hours and 100,000 miles traveled to manage events across North America and the Middle East throughout the month.
September is typically a busy month for heavy equipment auctions as contractors sell equipment from completed jobs and others purchase equipment needed to finish end-of-year projects. Additionally, farm machinery auctions are popular in September as farmers preparing for the fall harvest are searching for the best equipment at the best prices.
Equipment purchasers look to auction marketplaces like Proxibid to purchase their equipment because they have access to a large amount of inventory in one place, and can bid online from their home or office. Auction companies leverage Proxibid’s marketplace to expand their global reach and to increase total sales in their auctions.
“Since 2003, we have relied on Proxibid to bring our auctions to a global, online audience,” said Dayton Roller, auctioneer with Denver-based Roller & Associates. “Adding online bidding to our auctions has dramatically impacted our business and the success of our auctions by helping to attract quality buyers with every auction. We have worked with other providers, but no one else in the industry is as dedicated to providing leading-edge products and services as Proxibid.”
Why Proxibid? Proxibid’s marketplace continues to grow at a rapid pace, with new inventory being added every day. Hundreds of thousands of bidders will participate in nearly 10,000 auctions on Proxibid this year, placing more than five million bids on more than 2.5 million lots. Everything from fine art, antiques and collectibles to industrial machinery, heavy equipment and farm machinery and real estate will pass through Proxibid’s marketplace this year.
“September is historically a huge month for Proxibid,” said President, Ryan Downs. “Every auction company that sells equipment in our marketplace has an event with us this month. And, on the heels of our Q3 Product Roll-out, we are expecting to see strong growth across the board.”
