DPA Auctions is a team of dedicated professionals who have been bringing Buyers and Sellers together since 1972. Our mission is to create the most seamless online auction experience, one that treats you like family. We are proud of our rich history of change, growth, and development, and we continue to innovate and lead the online auction industry.

Our Story

Our journey began with Del Peterson, the founder of Del Peterson & Associates, who started the business with a focus on the fertilizer industry. Through exceptional service and a commitment to our clients, we grew into a family business that has been serving the agricultural, construction, and transportation industries for decades. Today, under the leadership of Del's son, Steve Peterson, we have become the nation's premier online auction company.

We offer a simple and successful online auction experience for business owners looking to buy and sell their equipment. With millions of website visits per month and a vast network of satisfied buyers and sellers, DPA Auctions continues to be the most popular and trusted option in the industry.

Our Service

At DPA Auctions, we provide an online auction experience unlike any other. We have disrupted the 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 your own computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Our customer-first methodology is the key to our success. Our team of educated advisors works hard to ensure that each party has a seamless experience and achieves the most successful outcome. We employ an incredibly robust data processing and telecommunication system that finds and brings together buyers and sellers, resulting in optimal market pricing, convenient and efficient delivery, and a secure payment process.

We believe that working smart is better than working hard, and our enhanced marketing techniques are something we take pride in for our sellers.

We harness the power of technology to target buyers who are in need of your items. Our goal is to bring higher quality bidders, resulting in a higher value for your equipment sold.
