Brisbane - CNW-AsiaNet/ - For the first time ever, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (NYSE and TSX: RBA) - the world's largest industrial auctioneer - has added a second day to one of its Australian auctions.
The unreserved public auction will be conducted at the Company's permanent auction site in Brisbane on June 24 & 25, 2008.

"We're selling an exceptional lineup of equipment at our upcoming public auction, including a large selection of late-model cranes, prime movers and earthmoving equipment, and we're selling everything unreserved - meaning there will be no minimum bids and no reserve prices. This is a fantastic opportunity for interested truck and equipment buyers."
