With 134 lots going under the hammer, the sale achieved a clearance rate of 98%. The sale items grossed €1.1m on the night.
The retirement machinery dispersal auction was held on Wednesday 13 November on behalf of contractors Sheehan Brothers Enterprises Limited in Clonmel, Co Tipperary.
Michael Doyle Auctioneers carried out the sale. He said: “The auction completely superseded our expectations, by well over €100,000.
