Company bringing in oil field machinery for auction today
By Rupert Howell
Texas based Machinery Auctioneers has completed renovation and preparation for their first auction at their 11-acre I-55/Hwy. 35N location at the North Batesville exit.
A company news release states, “There have been nearly a dozen jobs created in the expansion of the company to Mississippi, and economic stimulation will be not far behind. One Auction will provide literally millions in local revenue and will bring in visitors from all over the country.”
“We have grown our business exponentially in the past six years by really caring about our clients and our buyers alike. Our goal is to create a marketplace where fair market prices are paid for high quality machinery, and to have both buyer and seller leave satisfied with the price of the machinery,” according to Terry Dickerson, owner of Machinery Auctioneers.
If the Dickerson name sounds familiar, readers might remember Dickerson’s nephew, Trey, formerly served as South Panola High School’s offensive coordinator for several football championship seasons. Machinery Auctioneers of Mississippi will be led by JB Dickerson, son of the owner, and Trey.
Today’s auction, Tuesday, May 24, will feature over 100 big trucks and trailers as well as construction machinery.
Most of the machinery is coming from the depressed oil field markets in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, according to the news release.
Since 2010 Machinery Auctioneers has been helping depressed businesses mitigate financial loss by liquidating and auctioning assets selling over $100 million worth of equipment, and is the fastest growing Auction Company in Texas, the news release states.
