Business Roundup: News on Bandit, Bobcat of Connecticut, J.J. Kane Auctioneers, Proxibid, Dozr, Volvo, RDO Equipment

Bandit Industries has expanded the territory of Bobcat of Connecticut for its hand-fed chippers and stump grinders and will service customers in western Massachusetts in addition to Connecticut.

In business for more than 25 years, Bobcat of Connecticut joined Bandit’s dealership network in 2015. This expansion comes via the exit of Tyler Equipment Corporation, which previously covered Massachusetts for the company. Tyler is exiting the tree care market and the companies are “parting ways on amiable terms,” reports Bandit.

“The professionals at Tyler Equipment have been exceptional brand ambassadors for Bandit,” says Bandit Industries President Jerry Morey. “We shared a strong business relationship and a strong friendship, and that friendship endures. We thank them for their devoted service and wish them nothing but the best for the future.”

J.J. Kane Auctioneers has selected Proxibid as the exclusive provider of its timed auctions, beginning Jan. 20 and continuing on the third Friday of each month.

“We are thrilled to add timed auctions to our event calendar in 2017 to provide consignors and buyers with an additional way to liquidate and acquire equipment,” says Joe Kane, auctioneer and owner of J.J. Kane Auctioneers. “Timed auctions offer easy access to our inventory in a format that allows for more flexibility.”

With its timed auctions, Proxibid provides global access to bidding until the sale closes. The company allows for extended bidding that adds to bidding time on an item when a bid is placed “within the last few minutes” of the auction. Proxibid says this is done to provide a “level playing field for all buyers.”
