Hmmm... Will have to think about acquisitions (but nothing comes to mind right away). IMHO, Ritchie's would be making a mistake to branch out very far away from their speciality, which is heavy equipment. They do that very well. People from all over the world have flown in to attend their auctions because they know they're one of the best in their field. I'm only familiar with the oil patch because we have a friend who often buys heavy equipment and portable housing at Ritchie's auctions. He's gotten some good deals through them.
