Our Story
From humble beginnings, DPA Auctions has a rich history of change and development. Del Peterson built Del Peterson & Associates in 1972, with a primary focus in the fertilizer industry. The family business grew by the exceptional service that they provided to their clientele. Decades later, Del’s son, Steve Peterson, took over the company and led the innovative front to the nation's premier online auction company. Today we offer a seamless and simple process to selling heavy machinery in the agricultural, construction, and transportation industries. With millions of website visits per month and an unlimited amount of satisfied buyers and sellers, DPA continues to be the most simple and successful option for business owners to buy and sell their equipment.
Our Service
DPA Auctions is an online auction experience unlike any other. We have disrupted the online auction industry by attracting well-qualified buyers from across the country and internationally. Our Live Auction Board provides the feel of an on-site auction with a dynamic clock and bidding extension time, all from the comfort and convenience of bidding from your own computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Your seamless experience is our prerogative and that is why our company consists of the most educated team of advisors that assist in the most successful outcomes. We do this through a customer-first methodology. By embracing technology, we are able to do this first hand with people all across the nation and internationally. Our business model deploys an incredibly robust data processing and telecommunication system which finds and brings together buyers and sellers alike. Our platform does this in a way which results in optimal market pricing, convenient and efficient delivery, and a very secure payment process, for each party.
