The NRC Auction delivers more value than other auctions. You can find equipment that is really not available on a daily basis. Plus, we know 90 percent of the sellers and can get an understanding of the condition of equipment. It’s a spectacular event. We’re honored to support a worthy cause and it’s a bonus to find the equipment we need.
