Todays auctions in Dubai are a lot different than those conducted twenty years ago.
At the first auctions in Dubai, bidders were seated in a huge tent and everyone joined in person as we didnt have online bidding yet, said Eduard Faig, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. Now we run our operation in a comfortable auction theater, with a full-service equipment yard and have a lot more to offer to our customers.
Through the years more bidders from more countries outside the region found their way to our Dubai auctions, either in person or online, making it a powerful auction hub. Every year businesses from all over the Middle East, Asia and further away rely on us to sell and buy the equipment they need.
Ritchie Bros. 73rd Dubai auction on December 13 & 14, 2016, offers a chance for businesses to buy and sell before the end of the year. There are no minimum bids or reserve prices at the auction, all items are sold to the highest bidders during the auction days.
