In the latest posts, we have talked about all sorts of auctions ranging from arts, the type of auctions done to dine with celebrities and many other topics. What we haven’t focused on a lot (and there is a reason for that) is the auctioning of heavy duty equipment: your excavators, bulldozers, cranes etc. The reason we haven’t done so is basically because more people would be interested in the arts that are being auctioned or some piece of technology used in our every day lives, than equipment used by these professionals only.

However, because I do want to cover everyone and all topics, I will dedicate this post to the construction companies and workers that need a voice for the auctions in this field. There has been a lot of discussion about the quality of the equipment being sold. You will see a lot of this on heavy equipment forums where people will find some kind of excavator made in the 60’s and he is wondering if that would be a good idea for a purchase. As with anything, construction equipment tends to wear out so people need to make sure they won’t be buying just tons of steel and that they’ll be buying something that will actually help them in their job. It is funny because in one of these forums, there was a demolition expert that was so opinionated on people not buying from auctions. He has his own little company and basically is the kind of person that believes in the idea of getting the best type of equipment in the market. In fact if you click here you will find the type of construction tools he personally uses. So his mindset was: if the product is good why is the contractor offering it for grabs, selling it?
