AuctionTime Records Largest March Sale Ever With 37% YOY Increase

AuctionTime.com continues its record-setting success with the largest March sale in its history. The over-$28 million sale on March 31st and April 1st represents a 37% year-over-year increase and follows on the heels of a record-smashing February. The recent sale drew more than 8,800 bidders from around the world vying for over 3,500 assets.

“We are seeing extraordinary growth through the buyer reach we provide sellers through our multichannel marketing brands,” says Sales Manager Mitch Helman. “Machinery Trader, Truck Paper, TractorHouse, and MarketBook provide a solid foundation for all sellers to reach active buyers and maximize returns across equipment industries.”

Equipment Pro, for example, recently completed a $1.6 million truck auction with participation from bidders in 43 states. “Partnering with AuctionTime provides our consignors with an unmatched buyer base and confidence to produce great returns,” says Equipment Pro founder and President Michael Haas.

Helman expects that success will continue as buyers become more comfortable with online purchases of heavy equipment. “We continue to see buyers from farther distances increase as their confidence in buying equipment sight unseen continues to build.” The March 31st-April 1st auction attracted buyers from all 50 states and 35 countries worldwide.

AuctionTime.com broke multiple records in 2020, with more than $858 million in GAP for the year and over $163 million in GAP in December alone. December 31st marked the largest single auction ever held through AuctionTime.com, with sales exceeding $60 million in GAP.
