Who is Ritchie Bros?

00:01:09:02 - 00:01:10:14
Who are you guys? What do you do?

00:01:10:14 - 00:01:13:05
Yes, well, we are Ritchie Brothers,

00:01:13:05 - 00:01:16:31
originally a Canadian auction house
for industrial equipment.

00:01:16:42 - 00:01:19:42
So now driving today
We at the location here in Moerdijk.

00:01:19:44 - 00:01:22:42
Are we actually
since 1999 on 25 acres

00:01:23:57 - 00:01:26:57
and actually hold seven auctions
per year,

00:01:27:13 - 00:01:31:11
fully filled with industrial material
and basically everything you see here

00:01:31:11 - 00:01:33:02
sold today.

00:01:33:02 - 00:01:35:42
The coming auction, the coming days

00:01:35:42 - 00:01:36:18
The auction.

00:01:36:18 - 00:01:39:29
That one opened last week,
so all machines that

00:01:39:29 - 00:01:42:29
you see here now
which are sold to the highest bidder.

00:01:42:54 - 00:01:44:42
So we are actually selling here

00:01:44:42 - 00:01:48:48
all sorts of different kinds
machines so to speak.

00:01:48:48 - 00:01:52:33
So you see it here
wheel loaders, dumpers, trucks, excavators

00:01:53:07 - 00:01:56:07
and everything becomes
So here is what is being sold here.

00:01:56:10 - 00:01:59:10
And this we do, we do seven times a
years here at this location.

00:01:59:25 - 00:02:02:19
Robert, can you briefly explain to me
how the auction works

00:02:02:19 - 00:02:07:12
And how your bidding system works?
Certainly, so with those seven auctions per

00:02:07:12 - 00:02:11:08
year we have several moments in
the year that that auction then actually is.

00:02:12:09 - 00:02:15:09
In the meantime, we are working
with filling the site

00:02:15:12 - 00:02:18:12
and so that means that we are actually
all kinds of different machines again

00:02:18:16 - 00:02:19:58
get in for the auction.

00:02:19:58 - 00:02:23:30
Yes, that is a team in the Benelux that is
also specifically does and who actually

00:02:23:34 - 00:02:27:12
is in daily contact
With various clients to conduct the auction

00:02:27:51 - 00:02:30:51
to be filled with different types of machines.

00:02:31:04 - 00:02:32:39
Does this go like this.

00:02:32:39 - 00:02:35:39
So we have
an auction date that is known.

00:02:35:44 - 00:02:39:16
Before then, customers can
come to deliver the machines,

00:02:40:35 - 00:02:43:21
then we'll make sure everything is
neatly inspected by us.

00:02:43:21 - 00:02:46:42
We have here behind a
entire inspection site where the machines

00:02:46:57 - 00:02:48:57
inspect in great detail.

00:02:48:57 - 00:02:51:57
That actually includes
taking the 20 to 60 photos

00:02:52:04 - 00:02:55:15
then and display and describe the condition.

00:02:55:51 - 00:02:57:08
That's pretty detailed, though.

00:02:57:08 - 00:02:58:20
I saw some on the website.

00:02:58:20 - 00:03:02:05
Differs greatly from machine to machine indeed,
but it's from 10 to 60 pictures.

00:03:02:14 - 00:03:06:36
We try to make the best possible picture
of the condition of the machine so that the

00:03:06:36 - 00:03:10:48
potential bidder also knows what, what
type of machine it is and what the condition is.

00:03:11:42 - 00:03:13:35
Well, it goes like this.

00:03:13:35 - 00:03:15:23
So that the auction date is known

00:03:16:21 - 00:03:18:34
before that make sure that everything
so comes to stand neatly.

00:03:18:34 - 00:03:20:36
As you see now today.

00:03:20:36 - 00:03:23:16
And then the auction goes
actually open a week in advance.

00:03:23:16 - 00:03:26:10
That's all online,
so nowadays you can just get your online

00:03:26:10 - 00:03:29:10
register for this auction, or for
the auction coming up.

00:03:30:01 - 00:03:32:14
In doing so, you can see exactly okay,
these lots are in the

00:03:32:14 - 00:03:35:14
auction and then you can actually go online at
that machines provide.

00:03:35:14 - 00:03:36:42
This is already possible, can be done right now.

00:03:36:42 - 00:03:40:17
Everything has a, a closing date.

00:03:40:17 - 00:03:43:23
In doing so, it says very clearly okay, the
Wednesday that and that machine will be sold

00:03:43:51 - 00:03:46:53
and so then you see exactly
OK, I can bid until that time.

00:03:47:24 - 00:03:51:08
Are you offering something just before that for the
closing date. Comes with some extra time.

00:03:51:34 - 00:03:54:50
It actually holds as much until you
be the last bidder so to speak.

00:03:55:09 - 00:03:56:32
And there will be no other offer.

00:03:56:32 - 00:03:56:50
Yes am

00:03:56:50 - 00:04:00:35
you the highest bidder and in fact then
sold the machine to you in that case.

00:04:01:11 - 00:04:04:43
So basically the auction is open for a week.

00:04:04:43 - 00:04:06:56
Robert on such a viewing day.

00:04:06:56 - 00:04:09:56
Yes, why is it important
That people come to test the machines?

00:04:10:12 - 00:04:11:06
In addition to being

00:04:12:29 - 00:04:15:34
be able to see online what the inspection
has done

00:04:15:39 - 00:04:19:02
Or at least the inspection
which we did that there are 20 to 60 photos

00:04:19:20 - 00:04:22:22
and whatever, it is always possible to
come see the machines for yourself.

00:04:23:34 - 00:04:25:53
We sell the machines ‘As is, where is.

00:04:25:53 - 00:04:26:23
What content,

00:04:26:23 - 00:04:28:25
as it says here they are also sold,

00:04:28:25 - 00:04:31:47
so in doing so, we also want the buyer to
give the opportunity to come and see.

00:04:32:15 - 00:04:35:53
That could be one in this case, for example
today, where you therefore have everyone

00:04:36:04 - 00:04:38:52
can come and pick up a key
so to speak just register here in Moerdijk.

00:04:38:52 - 00:04:42:07
Coming to pick up the key to just
to see how the condition

00:04:42:07 - 00:04:45:07
of the machine is, briefly start, briefly
to drive forward behind

00:04:45:28 - 00:04:48:39
what you want to just
get a good feel for the machine.

00:04:49:10 - 00:04:52:51
And it also just gives a little more security
That you know what you want to buy.

00:04:53:05 - 00:04:55:47
Yes, who are the buyers of
Such an auction?

00:04:55:47 - 00:04:58:47
We are seeing bidders from
more than seventy countries,

00:04:59:11 - 00:05:01:02
actually quite
the world that is watching along.

00:05:01:02 - 00:05:03:27
What we have on such an auction day.

00:05:03:27 - 00:05:07:25
So it's a very international
buyer audience that comes here to see

00:05:07:27 - 00:05:10:35
in and
so to speak also bids on the material here.

00:05:11:13 - 00:05:15:07
So that's actually for
something for everyone worldwide.

00:05:15:30 - 00:05:18:30
What would
you want to give the potential buyers?

00:05:18:32 - 00:05:20:14
We have, of course
seven auctions here in Moerdijk.

00:05:20:14 - 00:05:24:17
per year, I have multiple locations,
but I would say definitely keep well

00:05:24:35 - 00:05:25:56
monitor the stock.

00:05:25:56 - 00:05:28:36
That includes
actually in the auction inventory,

00:05:28:36 - 00:05:29:41
It says every auction.

00:05:29:41 - 00:05:33:18
something for everyone,
So selling all year round actually.

00:05:33:18 - 00:05:36:33
there is an auction nearby in which
the material is sold.
