March 4, 2009, London, Ont. – Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers is holding its first auction at the company’s new permanent agricultural auction site in London, Ont., on April 1, 2009.

The auction site is located at 4077 Breen Road, Putnam, Ont., and gets underway at 9 a.m.

The agricultural auction is strictly unreserved – meaning no reserve prices and no minimum bids on any item being sold. The company will now hold regularly scheduled agricultural auctions at its 38th permanent auction site in London, as well as yard sales at locations off-site.

“We have many agricultural customers in the region, and we also welcomed many new bidders to two successful unreserved auctions in Petrolia in the past two years," says Harm Spangenberg, territory manager for Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. “Our customers from the region can now come visit us at any time and get to know us – we are very excited to have a new permanent home in London.”

Featured items at the upcoming London, Ontario auction include MFWD tractors, trailers, spreaders, seeding and spraying equipment, flatbed and pick-up trucks by Ford and other manufacturers. The auction will be unreserved, with no minimum bids or reserve prices; every item will be sold to the highest bidder on auction day. Interested buyers can bid in person or over the Internet by visiting www.rbauction.com.

Equipment details, including photos, are available on the Ritchie Bros. web site at www.rbauction.com.
