I’ve had decent results with both, but I’d agree Ritchie Bros. tends to edge it out for sellers. The buyer reach is hard to beat and the process feels more streamlined. That said, IronPlanet can still work well for certain equipment, especially if you’re not in a rush and want a more fixed-price...
Buying heavy equipment can be tricky, one wrong move and you're out thousands. I had a near miss with a used backhoe where the paperwork was sketchy and the seller wanted cash only. How do you guys avoid scams and make sure the deal is solid? Thanks
