Boom & Bucket has been solid in my experience—shipping communication is clear, timelines are transparent, and equipment arrives as described. I like that they make the delivery process feel smooth and dependable compared to many platforms.

It really comes down to preference, auction style vs direct buying. Ritchie Bros. and IronPlanet are solid for large auctions, while Mascus is great for browsing listings. I’d also recommend Boom and Bucket for its transparent process. Overall, RB Global brands give a reliable mix of options in...

The transparency on Boom & Bucket is a big plus—it helps me bid with more confidence, even if I double-check later.

Honestly, platforms like Boom & Bucket make it easier to find newer models with these features without overpaying.

It’s called a “rubber duck” because of the rubber tires instead of tracks—simple as that. They’re faster and better for roads, while tracked machines handle rough terrain better. If you’re comparing options, Boom & Bucket is a great place to check—easy to browse and they’ve got reliable...

Sounds like a great step by IronPlanet. Making listings, inspections, and connecting with buyers easier can really save sellers a lot of time and stress. Definitely seems like a helpful option for anyone looking to sell equipment online.
