Heavy plant shortage in the region is certain to attract serious attention from buyers for the upcoming Euro Auction, Brisbane sale on 20th August
Following the success of the latest Euro Auctions sale in Brisbane at the end of June, the upcoming sale on 20th August is attracting much attention, with dealers and contractors in the region struggling to source good quality heavy machinery, agricultural equipment and construction plant, due to Covid.
Held behind ‘closed doors’ the recent Euro Auctions live online auction in Brisbane on 25th June, attracted international interest, with bidders registering from a global audience. However, it was the home audience that was successful in the final bidding, with buyers from Australia and New Zealand snapping up the bulk of all lots.
In June first time registrations were up, showing an increase of over 132% when compared to the same mid-summer sale in June 2019. Over 30% of first time registered bidders bought at this sale, again an increase over the same sale last year. With imports of new machinery on hold due to the pandemic, and OEMs ceasing to manufacture, good used equipment is popular, with new construction projects and an increased need in agriculture fuelling demand.
Craig Hart, Euro Auctions Territory Manager for Queensland, “Covid has dictated a change in the way we conduct the sale, being live, online and behind closed doors, however prices have been strong, and activity brisk. Consignors are ever committed to the recent and upcoming sale, and equipment has been arriving for the August auction since the last sale.”
Live & Online – Bidding & Buying
As previous Covid sales, Euro Auctions will not be inviting the public to attend the sale, however this will be a live sale, conducted online. A small team of staff from the Brisbane site, plus the local territory managers,
will conduct the sale, and the auctioneers that will conduct the sale will be the team from sister company Yoder & Frey HQ in Ohio, USA with chief auctioneer Lucas Schneider officiating over the proceedings.
Euro Auctions sales are unreserved meaning all lots are sold on the day to the highest bidder. There are no minimum bids; no reserve prices and no buy backs. Bidders can register for a free account and start to save searches, adding items to a watchlist. Prospective buyers need to obtain a bidding number, enabling one to bid in one of two ways:
- Online – using the Euro Auctions secure bidding platform.
- Pre-bid – leaving a single bid in advance of the auction.
Successful buyers will pay a commission on all hammer prices, of 10% on the first AUD $3,500 and 2.5% on the balance plus 10% GST.
