    Posted On: January 2, 2019

    AuctionTime.com closed out 2018 with record-breaking sales in its end-of-year auctions. The online-only auction platform for construction equipment, agriculture equipment, and commercial trucks and trailers sold over $113.6 million (gross auction proceeds) in assets in December. Nearly 19,000 bidders across all 50 U.S. states, all ten Canadian provinces, and 52 countries worldwide participated in four multi-day auctions on AuctionTime.com. In aggregate, the platform sold nearly 10,000 assets in December alone.

    AuctionTime.com is a product of Sandhills Publishing (the Nebraska-based tech company behind Machinery Trader, CraneTrader, ForestryTrader, TractorHouse, Truck Paper, and a number of other brands). Since its launch in 2010, the platform’s end-of-year auctions have grown exponentially.

    “Product growth and brand extensions across each of our core industries and the niche markets within them have continued to fuel the success of AuctionTime.com,” explains Sandhills’ Director of New Products Evan Welch. “The year-over-year growth of AuctionTime.com, and especially its December sales, can be attributed directly to the unique value the platform offers both buyers and sellers.”
