We’ve all witnessed the significant impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on our nation’s economy. Unlike anything many of us have seen in our lifetime, it has changed the way we work, travel, and make purchases—each of which directly impacts the heavy equipment auction industry.
Throughout 2020, as pandemic precautions were implemented across the nation, numerous onsite auctions, some of which were multi-million dollar events, were shut down. It quickly became clear that a shift toward technology was necessary for them. This left many of these competitors scrambling for quick solutions.
DPA Auctions was completely prepared.
Our auctions have operated online for over ten years. We’ve built a solid reputation for a clean and professional online buying/selling experience. We are a family company and we know that equipment bought and sold at auction is very important to the livelihoods of everyone involved.
Our advanced technology and years of experience in the digital marketplace enables us to seamlessly carry on our operations even when faced with a national pandemic. Our well-established multi-faceted marketing platform targets customers all across the United States and internationally and our expert sales staff is dedicated to serving our customers in a professional and personal way.
We are committed to providing our services without interruption.
The industries we serve—farming, construction, transportation, and beyond—never stop delivering their important goods and services to our nation. We applaud their dedication and we stand beside them in solidarity by doing whatever it takes to provide the tools they need to carry on their businesses.
For customers newly transitioning to online auctions, our Live Auction Board offers a familiar experience to traditional on-site auctions. We are always available to do what it takes to give newcomers the confidence and assurances they need to adapt to a digital platform.
Don’t Be Fooled by the Competition.
We offer the lowest commissions in online auctions without compromising superior quality and exceptional service. With our family-focused values, we believe it is not our duty to charge more and give less, but rather charge less and give more.
Some competitors claim to have lower commissions, but always pay attention to the fine details. Do their commissions and fees include everything you’ll need? Or will you be charged separately for each and every service?
Our fees are transparent and include everything you need—we provide all the images needed for the listing, money transfer, title transfer, lien searches, and we also help facilitate transportation and financing.
Outlook for 2021
DPA Auctions continually monitors developments and changes in the marketplace. While markets in other industries have fluctuated, the resale of heavy equipment has remained consistent. Some areas even improved their sales compared to prior to the pandemic.
As manufacturers cut production, the demand for used equipment increases. We see a strong market that will continue to grow well after the pandemic subsides. Using technology to facilitate equipment sales will continue to rise. We are committed to staying ahead of the curve and we will be there for you through every twist and turn that may come your way.
Family Focused Service
Since 1972, DPA Auctions has worked hard to build strong relationships of trust with our clients. One of our core values is to treat everyone like family—with honesty, respect, and open communication. It is this relationship that sets us apart from the rest.
Despite the challenges, we are excited about the year to come. By partnering together, we will overcome the obstacles, rise above the uncertainty and succeed.
