"The rate of decline in used equipment prices shows signs of moderation, though mix-adjusted values continue to be lower than the same time period last year," said Ken Calhoon, Vice President, Data Analytics, Ritchie Bros. "We are seeing relative price strength across all the geographies Ritchie Bros. operates in as buyers have quickly adopted fully-online purchasing. In particular, we are seeing steady improvement in values in both the United States and Canada with particularly strong buyer participation in North America from Texas, California, Alberta, and Mexico and internationally from Asia and South America."
