Bidadoo, an online construction equipment auction firm, reports a 50 percent increase in sales growth for the first half of 2019 when compared to the same period last year.
Part of the growth has come from an increase in construction equipment manufacturers and rental companies using the online auction service to sell equipment coming off rental fleets and leases, the company says. The increased sales activity has also resulted in a 20 percent average selling price over 2018, the company reports. Companies using the service include JCB, Case, Genie, Terex Utilities, Herc Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals, Takeuchi and Atlas Copco, according to Bidadoo.
The company also reports a boost in international auction sales through its partnership with eBay, with growth in Canada traffic of 200 percent and Mexico traffic of 75 percent.
