THE IEDA LIVE & VIRTUAL AUCTION IS HERE TO STAY!
We’re kicking off the Annual Meeting with The 2nd IEDA Members Live & Virtual Heavy Equipment Auction in partnership with Bryan Auction Co. on Friday, Feb. 16, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Remember the good old days how equipment auctions used to be? Well this is it: Our good old-fashioned, in-person, socializing, prize-winning, lunching, laughing, and bidding auction is held under a tent on the outdoor pavilion in front of the Reunion Resort.
Proceeds from all auctioned prizes will be given to the IEDA Foundation in support of student technician scholarships and other worthy industry causes. Over $10,000 was raised last year! Please help support this great cause by donating exciting items for attendees to bid on – such as trips and tickets to events or experiences, outdoor sporting or hunting goods, jewelry, wine, electronics, and anything else that attendees will enjoy bidding on. Prize items can be shipped directly to Bryan Auction Co. in advance.
As for equipment, everything is welcome: Tools, attachments, trucks, big & small heavy equipment, and transportation equipment. All items to be sold live virtually (no equipment gets shipped until it is sold). All consigned equipment is contributed by IEDA members only – distinguishing this auction with high ethics and integrity.
Consignors receive the lowest rate in the industry at 5%. Bryan Auction Co. uses dual platforms for the event: Machinery Trader and Proxibid.
And Bryan Auction Co. will spend over $60,000 in advertising to promote this major IEDA event.
Be sure to arrive in Orlando by Thursday, Feb. 15.
