Sales Auction Company Hosts Annual Autumn Auction

Mon November 11, 2019 - Northeast Edition #23
CEG


Sales Auction Company's annual autumn auction was held Oct. 12, 2019, at its headquarters in Windsor Locks, Conn. With 1,300 lots of equipment, virtually any item a contractor could need was available to the highest bidder. Excavators, loaders, dozers, skid steers, trucks, trailers, aerial equipment, landscaping equipment, plus many more items too numerous to mention were up for grabs.

This incredible package of equipment attracted nearly 1,000 bidders and buyers from all over the world, including Australia, Africa, Canada, as well as every state in the United States.

Due to the continued increase in volume of items placed into the sale this year, the decision was made to run a larger volume of the smaller valued lots through a timed auction managed by Proxibid. The timed auction closed out simultaneously with the live sale of the larger pieces of construction equipment, which allowed for the completion of the sale in a timely manner. CEG

A record crowd of bidders attended this year’s sale. Each year the numbers continue to grow, with nearly one thousand registered for this sale.
