The Corporate Kids Challenge teamed up Olympic athletes and local celebrities with 20 corporate teams from the Greater Vancouver area. After facing off in a series of sports day challenges, including tug of war, as well as hockey, soccer and basketball challenges, and an obstacle course set up by the Burnaby Fire Department, Marsh/ACE were crowned this year's champion.

"For me this event is very important because it gives me the chance to give back to an organization that has given me so much," said Richard Hortness , two-time Canadian Olympian in men's swimming and former recipient of KidSport funding. "When I was younger and just started swimming competitively and seeing some success, I was told by my parents that we may not be able to afford it anymore. Thankfully we found KidSport and they were able to help me continue to do something I love."

The evening concluded with a live charity auction featuring auction items donated by local companies and members of the business community. The unreserved auction took place on site at the event—held at Ritchie Bros. head office in Burnaby , BC—where bids were made in person, live online at www.rbauction.com and by proxy. Auction highlights included a 10-person boot camp session with two-time CFL all-star defensive back and TV exercise show host Tommy Europe , Vancouver Canucks gift packages, a deluxe fishing trip vacation for two at Stuart Island, BC and much more. All proceeds from the charity auction were donated to KidSport BC.

"Twenty years ago the staff and board of Sport BC had a vision of a program like KidSport, but I don't think they could have imagined an event like this today that raises so much money and helps so many kids get in the game," said Pete Quevillon , Director, KidSport BC. "This event—and all the people here today—will help about 500 kids play a season of sport. It's a huge day and I thank you on behalf of KidSport."

In the four years the event has been held, the Corporate Kids Challenge has raised more than CA$1.8 million dollars for KidSport BC, making it the biggest fundraiser for any KidSport chapter in all of Canada .

"I would like to say a big thank you to all the corporate teams who came out to support this truly fun and important event," said Peter Blake , Chief Executive Officer, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. "Ritchie Bros. has operations around the world, but BC is our home base—it's where we were born and bred—and we want to give back to our community. As soon as we connected with KidSport BC in 2010 there was an instant connection and every year we are so proud to host this event."

Ritchie Bros. plans to host the 5th Corporate Kids Challenge in September 2014 .

EDMONTON, Oct. 31, 2013

This week's Edmonton auction achieved new records for gross auction proceeds (CA$95+ million), number of sellers (840+) and number of items (5,850+) sold at a two-day auction

EDMONTON, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (NYSE and TSX: RBA), the world's largest industrial auctioneer, conducted its largest two-day auction in Company history this week in Edmonton, AB (October 29 - 30, 2013). More than 5,850 equipment items and trucks were sold in the public auction for more than CA$95 million (US$90+ million)—all equipment was sold by unreserved auction, with no minimum bids or reserve prices. Multiple Ritchie Bros. records were set at this auction, including highest gross auction proceeds and most items sold in a two-day auction globally, most items ever sold in any Canadian auction and most sellers ever at any auction globally. Bids were made in person at the Edmonton auction site, online in real time at www.rbauction.com and by proxy.

"This is our fifth Edmonton auction of the year and usually our October auction is our second biggest sale next to our three-day April auction, but it's never been this big before—to sell more than 5,850 equipment items and trucks in two days is unheard of," said Jim Rotlisberger, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. "At this time of year many contractors are changing gears—selling off equipment used in the summer and getting new gear for the winter season. In this week's auction we witnessed strong competition for equipment in all categories from bidders around the world, which helped us achieve global market value for our sellers."

More than 6,450 bidders from 53 countries, including all Canadian provinces and two territories and 43 US states, registered to bid in person or online for the auction. CA$63+ million (US$60+ million) of equipment was purchased by Alberta buyers. Participants from outside Alberta purchased close to CA$32 million (US$30+ million) of equipment or 33 percent of total gross auction proceeds. More than 3,600 of the bidders participated online and purchased CA$35+ million (US$33+ million) of the equipment available online.

Equipment in the auction was sold for a record-breaking 840+ sellers, including late-model hydraulic excavators and other equipment for PIPE-WATCH INC., a Camrose, AB-based pipeline integrity construction company.

"This was our first time selling with Ritchie Bros. and we would absolutely sell with them again," said Ed Wrzesien, Director & Chief Financial Officer for PIPE-WATCH INC. "Our equipment received bids from on site in the auction theater and around the world through online bidding. The power of Ritchie Bros. online bidding cannot be overstated as it opens the auction up to a whole new market—a much larger audience of potential bidders. Throughout the entire selling process, Ritchie Bros. was open, honest and professional—everything went smooth and was done as expected."

Gross auction proceeds (GAP) represents the total proceeds from all items sold at Ritchie Bros. auctions. The Company's definition of gross auction proceeds may differ from those used by other participants in its industry. Gross auction proceeds is an important measure the Company uses in comparing and assessing its operating performance. It is not a measure of the Company's financial performance, liquidity or revenue and is not presented in its consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that auction revenues, which is the most directly comparable measure in its Consolidated Income Statements, and certain other line items are best understood by considering their relationship to gross auction proceeds. Auction revenues represent the revenues earned by Ritchie Bros. in the course of conducting its auctions, and consist primarily of commissions earned on consigned equipment and net profit on the sale of equipment purchased by the Company and sold in the same manner as consigned equipment.http://www.ariva.de/news/...-completes-final-auctions-of-2013-4883664

"We achieved some notable milestones during 2013," said Peter Blake, CEO of Ritchie Bros. "In Canada, our most established market, we continued to grow and again surpassed gross auction proceeds of over $1 billion.  We also held our first auctions in both China and Finland, and reached a new record for online bidders and buyers. In fact, our online bidders purchased more than $1.4 billion of equipment in 2013, or approximately 37% of our total sales. We're pleased that our customers are finding convenience through our online bidding option, and comfort in the ability to test and inspect the equipment being sold in our yards before each auction. More than 43,000 consigners trusted us to sell their equipment at our industrial auctions during the year, and over 425,000 potential buyers registered to bid on items."

Mr. Blake continued, "This was an important year for our business. We had a focused strategy to grow our sales force and improve the performance of our underwritten (or 'at risk') business. On both counts, we have made great progress. During 2013 we grew our sales force to the largest it's ever been, and we continued to invest in new technology tools for our sales team that will provide better insight into our customer base, enhance our service levels and improve sales productivity. As well, the much improved performance of our underwritten business allowed us to achieve record quarterly auction revenue rates during 2013. We also successfully launched EquipmentOne.com, a new online non-auction service offering that has allowed us to reach new customers and broaden the solutions we offer equipment owners."

"Having made important investments in our auction platform over the last several years, our worldwide network of 44 sites is now extremely well equipped to handle expanding auction volumes. Our focus going forward is on driving growth in gross auction proceeds to deliver the earnings leverage that exists in our model."http://www.ariva.de/news/...-completes-final-auctions-of-2013-4883664

Complementary to Ritchie Bros.' flagship unreserved auction business, EquipmentOne is an online marketplace for the sale of equipment and materials where buyers and sellers can negotiate, complete and settle their transactions in a safe and transparent environment.

"Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne is unlike any other equipment marketplace—it offers sellers control of the selling price and process while providing buyers transparency and security across a broad selection of assets," said Bob Armstrong, Chief Strategic Development Officer of Ritchie Bros. "With EquipmentOne and our live unreserved public auctions, Ritchie Bros. is the only place you need to go to buy or sell used equipment or materials. We offer the world's builders a complete solution set to serve a wide variety of needs. If a seller wants control of price and process, EquipmentOne can help. Or, if the seller wants certainty of sale and global market value, they can use our unreserved auctions. Ultimately, it's all about meeting the needs of the customer."

Ritchie Bros. customer, Johannes Schulze Vohren, Vice President & Managing Director for Wacker Neuson Corporation, a world leading global manufacturer of light and compact construction equipment said, "The combination of EquipmentOne and the unreserved auction has assisted us in driving great results for our company. Having both solutions available to us to meet our varying needs has been a great benefit."

Ritchie Bros. EquipmentOne was initially launched in early 2013 and had a full commercial launch in April. The Marketplace already has hundreds of thousands of qualified members around the world. Members can create personal watchlists, save searches, review market pricing with the Ritchie Bros. Orange Book™, and make offers on listings. Membership to EquipmentOne is free.

"We sold thousands of equipment items from a wide variety of industries on EquipmentOne in 2013," said Chris Connell, President of EquipmentOne. "From our core industries of transportation, construction and energy, particularly strong categories included highway trucks and trailers, earth-moving equipment and tubular assets such as line pipe and OCTG for the energy sector."

One EquipmentOne member, Jesse Wheeler, Vice President of Wheeler Truck Sales and Service in Kansas City, MO, turned to EquipmentOne to sell his Mack DM 690S truck tractor after he had listed it on an online classified website for a few weeks and received no results.

"We've bought and sold with Ritchie Bros. in the past, so we were confident there would be a good buying audience on EquipmentOne and that we would get a fair price out of it at the end of the day—we were right," said Mr. Wheeler. "It was a smooth process, from posting the ad, to finding a buyer, to receiving payment and paper work. We would be confident using EquipmentOne again to sell. It saves an awful lot of work on our end—being able to list an item on just one site and knowing that it will get a lot of attention from the kind of buyers we're looking for."

How EquipmentOne works:

Sellers can create their own listings or work with Ritchie Bros to create listings including equipment photos, detailed asset information, and price parameters which may include an Asking price or a 'Buy it Now' price for a typical listing period of two weeks. EquipmentOne continually brings a qualified buying audience and promotes the seller's listing through its comprehensive marketing campaigns.

Negotiations take place using the Online Negotiation Engine. Buyers are able to make transparent offers for the seller's consideration during the listing period. When the listing period concludes and the item is sold, EquipmentOne provides complete financial settlement services to ensure a safe and seamless transaction.

Some unique site features include:

EquipmentOne Total Buyer Protection - ensures buyers are protected through an escrow process, seller experience ratings and facilitated dispute resolution
Ritchie Bros. Orange BookTM - provides valuable market information to help buyers and sellers assess equipment pricing
Online Negotiation Engine - provides complete transparency into the negotiation process
Biggest source of equipment listings on the web - EquipmentOne provides the most equipment listings anywhere on the web by including equipment being sold in Ritchie Bros. unreserved auctions, as well as equipment listed on other websites all across the internet. There are currently more than 3.6 million listings showing on EquipmentOne

ORLANDO, FL, Feb. 24, 2014

Company breaks records for online sales and Orlando, FL site record for number of sellers at the world's largest heavy equipment auction of 2014

ORLANDO, FL, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Last week (February 17 - 22, 2014), Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (NYSE and TSX: RBA) held the world's largest heavy equipment auction of 2014 in Orlando, Florida selling 8,800+ items for more than US$166 million. The six-day unreserved public auction set new Company records for online sales, with online buyers generating more than US$54 million in gross auction proceeds or 33 percent of total gross auction proceeds. Additional records broken at last week's auction include number of online registered bidders (4,400+), number of online buyers (1,000+), and a new Orlando, FL permanent auction site record of sellers (830+). Every item in the six-day, unreserved public auction was sold to the highest bidder, regardless of price—without minimum bids or reserve prices.

"Our February auction in Orlando continues to be our Company's largest auction each year and this year is no different," said Peter Blake, Ritchie Bros. CEO. "Equipment owners from around the world and most notably from all across the eastern seaboard of the U.S. send their equipment to our Orlando auction because we provide ease, confidence and the world's biggest auction in which to sell their assets for the highest possible returns. Due to the severe winter weather that hit the northeastern U.S. in recent weeks, many of the sellers from the region who normally participate in the auction were unable to free up equipment from their job sites to add to last week's auction. We also noticed a lower volume of cranes in this year's inventory due to higher construction activity in the non-residential market. However, simultaneously we saw a more diverse and larger selection of equipment from the energy and transportation equipment categories than previous years. This is an early reflection of our focused strategy to diversify and grow our volume in other sectors, in addition to heavy construction."

More than 830 sellers sold their equipment at this year's Ritchie Bros. Orlando, FL February auction. Florida-based Ring Power Corporation, a long-time buyer and seller with Ritchie Bros., sold a selection of more than 140 heavy construction and rental-type items during last week's auction.

"We have a long and collaborative relationship with Ritchie Bros. and their February auction here in Orlando is one of our largest ventures together," said Dennis Ryan, Vice President and Used Equipment Manager, Ring Power Corporation. "We sold a large selection of construction and rental gear this year and prices exceeded our expectations. While at the auction, we saw bids coming in from Latin America, the Middle East and all over the United States for our gear. Ritchie Bros. has the ability like no other to reach buyers from all around the world."

More than 8,640 registered bidders from 84 countries, including all 50 U.S. states, all 10 Canadian provinces and one territory, participated both in person and online. More than US$29 million was purchased by buyers from the state of Florida while more than US$137 million (or 82%) was sold to buyers located outside the state, with more than US$48 million (or 29%) being sold to buyers outside the country. Buyers participated from as far away as the United Arab Emirates, Guyana, Italy, Nigeria, Russia and Qatar.

"The selection is like something I've never seen before - the yard is huge and it is completely packed with equipment," said Oscar Ruiz, a first-time bidder and private contractor from Colombia. "I will definitely attend the next Ritchie Bros. Orlando auction - if I need it, I know I will find it here."

Katherine Garibello, President of Florida-based contractor AG Design & Services Corp., which specializes in remodeling and structural maintenance, was also a first-time buyer at this year's Ritchie Bros. February Orlando auction. She noted: "The logistical organization, professionalism and friendliness of every staff member of this enormous operation is what helped us acquire the equipment we need for our next remodeling project."

"We have started another strong year at our February auction here in Florida," said Steve Kriebel, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. "We saw strong prices in many areas, more specifically in the backhoe, aerial, truck and trailer, motor grader, and bulldozer categories. Even though our inventory count was slightly lower than in recent years, average sale prices were higher. Additionally, we sold 80 percent more one-to-three-year-old equipment items in our core equipment categories, including wheel loaders, bull dozers, rock trucks, excavators, motor graders and forklifts. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers all around the world at our upcoming Florida auctions in 2014."

"Prices in the auction were good and consistent, in particular, pricing on newer iron was very strong," said Gary Tanton, President of Tanton Mackay Oilfield Construction. "We've bought a lot from Ritchie Bros. in the past so when we decided to get out of the pipeline business we came to them to sell all our equipment. One month ago, most of our gear was out on a job and now it's in the hands of new owners. That's one of the best parts about working with Ritchie Bros.—everything is sold by the end of the auction. Now I can sit back and enjoy the summer with my wife and kids."

LINCOLN, NE, Aug. 7, 2014

Unreserved auction in Reno, Nevada features three 2012 Caterpillar 785D rock trucks; Tuscaloosa, Alabama auction features seven Caterpillar D11T crawler tractors

LINCOLN, NE, Aug. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (NYSE and TSX: RBA), the world's largest industrial auctioneer, has a number of upcoming auctions featuring late model mining equipment, including unreserved public auctions this month in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (August 20) and Reno, Nevada (August 22) and an auction next month in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina (September 30). Specific equipment highlights include three 2012 Caterpillar 785D rock trucks, seven Caterpillar D11T crawler tractors, as well as front shovels, excavators, wheel loaders, drills, crushing plants and more. Bids can be made in the auctions in person, live online at www.rbauction.com and by proxy.

"It's rare to see used mining equipment of this quality available on the market. This is all high-quality, late model gear from great companies that will go to the highest bidders on auction day," said Steve Simpson, Chief Sales Officer, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. "It's no secret that the mining industry has been having its struggles around the world recently, but there are still a lot of companies continuing operations—albeit maybe at a slower rate than they are used to. This is an excellent opportunity for those companies, and heavy construction contractors, to upgrade their fleets with some great gear without having to buy new. All equipment will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices."

The Tuscaloosa, Alabama unreserved auction features more than 275 equipment items and trucks. The auction will be held on Wednesday, August 20. Specific equipment highlights include seven Caterpillar D11T crawler tractors (five 2011 models, one 2012 and one 2010), a 2012 Komatsu PC2000-8 hydraulic excavator, two 2011 Caterpillar 777F rock trucks, four 2011 Komatsu HD785-7 rock trucks, a 2011 Driltech D50KS crawler blast hole drill and more. The majority of the equipment in the auction is being sold for Southland Resources Inc., a coal mining and grading company based in Brookwood, Alabama.

"We're selling more than 60 pieces of well-maintained mining and heavy construction equipment in Ritchie Bros.' Tuscaloosa auction," said Buddy Jones, owner of Southland Resources. "The auction will be held at one of our own mine sites, which allows potential buyers to see exactly where all this equipment was used. We're operating a first-class mining operation and have been in business for more than 15 years. The need for coal has reduced so we've decided to shut down approximately 60 percent of our operations. We don't need all this equipment now, so better for it to go to someone who does and we get back some cash. When coal needs return—and they will—we will be looking to buy some more equipment right away."

Late model mining equipment will also be sold in upcoming Ritchie Bros. auctions in Reno, Nevada on August 22 and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina on September 30. More than 250 equipment items and trucks will be sold in Reno, including three 2012 Caterpillar 785D rock trucks, a 2010 Caterpillar 993K high lift wheel loader, three 2008 Volvo A40E 6x6 articulated dump trucks and more. Highlights from the upcoming Raleigh-Durham unreserved auction include 17 2005 Mack CV713 granite dump trucks (Tri/A), five Caterpillar 785 rock trucks, six Caterpillar D11N crawler tractors, a 2005 Caterpillar D10T crawler tractor, five 2012 Caterpillar 740B 6x6 articulated dump trucks, a 2011 Caterpillar 349EL excavator, nine Caterpillar 320EL excavators, 10 Caterpillar 980G wheel loaders and more.

Consignments are still being accepted for all three of these unreserved public auctions. To sell your equipment and trucks contact the auction sites directly at +1.205.553.2228 (Tuscaloosa); +1.530.669.4166 (Reno) and +1.919.764.1900 (Raleigh-Durham).
