GovPlanet

Proven track record

Ritchie Bros. and GovPlanet have worked with hundreds of state and local government agencies, as well as the US Department of Defense, to establish the premier marketplace for the disposal of surplus rolling stock and other assets. We are a publicly traded company, with a proven, transparent process that has delivered successful results for all levels of government.

A massive selection for buyers

GovPlanet runs two online auctions each week, featuring thousands of new and used government assets – everything from Humvess to medical devices – all selling to the highest bidder. Customers can register for free, view our IronClad inspection reports, and buy with confidence. Bulk purchases are also available outside of the auction through our Wholesale team.

How it works selling on GovPlanet.com

When it comes to the selling process our team at GovPlanet takes care of everything for you. Our dedicated staff and full-time field experts work closely with you to ensure a streamlined and low-touch experience throughout the selling process.

How it works:

Each sale begins with you, the customer, identifying underutilized assets that qualify for a remarketing
program.

Your staff provide an equipment list to schedule an onsite inspection of each unit.

Inspections are used by our team to conduct an analysis of market trends, historical sales data and anticipated make-ready costs of the subject units.

This preliminary due diligence allows GovPlanet to generate transparent and favorable sales proposals for each of our clients.
