"This is a can't-miss event for sellers and buyers across the country and around the world," said Jeff Jeter, president (U.S. Sales), Ritchie Bros.

Due to strong early demand from consignors, Ritchie Bros. has decided to set the stage for its premier global auction in Orlando, Fla., to be even bigger this year — extending the event to six days. Starting on Monday, Feb. 19 and running through Saturday, Feb. 24, the six-day mega-auction will feature items from every industry neatly laid out across its 200-acre auction site.

"This is a can't-miss event for sellers and buyers across the country and around the world," said Jeff Jeter, president (U.S. Sales), Ritchie Bros. "This is not your average, ordinary, everyday auction. This is a global event with a selection you won't see anywhere else. Last year we sold more than 11,500 items through the Ritchie Bros. and IronPlanet Orlando events, attracting bidders from more than 80 countries. This year we plan to do it even bigger and better, with the best service you will see anywhere in the industry."

Jeff added, "Adding the sixth auction day really optimizes the event so that we can grow to include more consignors and ensure that we aren't selling too late into the evening."
