Methodology: median final winning bid on heavy equipment lots that closed on official Canada government auction platforms over the trailing 365 days, pooled across every heavy equipment lot in the category. Realised sale prices, excluding buyer's premium. No-bid lots excluded. Updated daily. Lots whose true hammer price we captured after close are used as-is. The rest are corrected for late bidding, by a factor measured per category against the lots where we have both figures.
