The pandemic changed a lot of things, but the largest influence has been on the utilization of ecommerce tools for purchasing. Customers were driven online to buy instead of shopping in-person and construction equipment was no exception.
Historically reliant on offline, in-person sales and auctions, the construction heavy equipment market has seen adoption of online equipment marketplaces accelerate through the COVID-19 pandemic. With eBay’s 150+ million active buyers around the globe, the platform provides equipment sellers access to the world’s largest online auction marketplace and sellers of equipment should take advantage.

Contractors who are ready to sell their inventory can take advantage of this and put their equipment in new hands faster than ever. The unprecedented demand in the marketplace, coupled with increased asset returns, can equal immediate and profitable success for selling equipment.
