High demand from Mexico and beyond drives strong pricing at Ritchie Bros.' Fort Worth auction -

FORT WORTH, TX, July 14, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --

On-site and online bidders from Mexico purchased US$8 million of heavy equipment and trucks from the US$35 million unreserved public auction conducted by Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (NYSE and TSX: RBA) in Fort Worth, Texas last week. Out-of-state bidders purchased US$22 million of equipment in total (62 percent of the gross auction proceeds), including US$12 million of equipment (34 percent) that was purchased by buyers from outside the United States. The participation of bidders from as far away as India, Nigeria and the U.K. - on-site, online and by proxy - helped deliver higher than expected returns for consignors, with particularly strong prices on excavators and cranes. Trucks also sold well, despite the current high cost of fuel.

Ritchie Bros. (www.rbauction.com), the world's largest industrial auctioneer, conducted the unreserved public auction at its permanent auction site in Fort Worth on July 9, 10 & 11, 2008. The large selection of equipment being sold - more than 2,400 items in total - attracted more than 2,200 registered bidders from 45 countries, as well as 47 U.S. states. More than 1,300 people registered to bid in person or by proxy; the other 900 registered to bid over the internet. Online bidders purchased US$8 million of equipment. Since introducing its real-time internet bidding service, rbauctionBid-Live, in 2002, Ritchie Bros. has sold more than US$2 billion of equipment over the internet.

"The strong Mexican economy is driving infrastructure spending and generating a lot of work," said David Hobbs, Ritchie Bros. Division Manager. "Contractors in booming regions like Mexico need equipment they can put straight to work. They travel to our Fort Worth auctions knowing they can find the different types of equipment they need, from motor graders to wheel loaders to excavators, all in one place. They can test, inspect and compare equipment from multiple sellers; they can socialize with other people in their industry; and they can feel confident bidding on auction day because they know every item will be sold, with no reserves and no artificial price manipulation."

Jordan Paving sold a number of items in the auction, including an asphalt batch plant that was purchased by an on-site bidder from Mexico and a generator that was purchased by an internet bidder from Saudi Arabia. The company has been buying and selling equipment at Ritchie Bros. auctions for almost 20 years.

"When you're selling equipment you've got to go where you'll get the best prices, and that's a Ritchie Bros. auction," said Mart Jordan, president of Jordan Paving. "They have a good reputation and name recognition around the world, and that's what brings in the buyers. The more buyers there are, from more places, the better the prices. We've sold equipment to people from as far away as Australia and the Middle East at Ritchie Bros. auctions."

PRINCE GEORGE, BC, Oct. 1, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --

Next week, almost 700 items - including a large selection of unused and late model Madill logging equipment - will be sold to the highest bidders at an unreserved Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers auction in Prince George, B.C. Among the equipment being sold in the October 9, 2008 auction: feller bunchers, log trucks and trailers, processors, forwarders, log loaders, skidders, yarders, excavators, trucks, trailers, pickups - and more. Every item will be sold on auction day, with no minimum bids or reserve prices. Ritchie Bros. (www.rbauction.com) will conduct the unreserved public auction at its permanent auction site in Prince George.

"I've never seen such an exceptional lineup of forestry equipment in one place at one time - and by the end of day on October 9th, everything will be sold to new owners," said George Willows, Ritchie Bros. Regional Manager. "Our upcoming auction is a great opportunity for people in the logging, construction and transportation industries to buy the equipment they need at the price they are willing to pay.

The October 9th Prince George auction features complete dispersals for R Saunders Contracting Ltd. and Shallow Bay Contracting Ltd., as well as equipment from more than 140 other consignors. Vancouver Island-based Madill Equipment filed for bankruptcy protection in early 2008.
