​ Advances Against Auction Contracts Advances against auction contracts arise when the Company pays owners, in advance, a portion of the expected gross auction proceeds from the sale of the related assets at future auctions. The Company’s policy is to limit the amount of advances to a percentage of the estimated gross auction proceeds from the sale of the related assets, and before advancing funds, require proof of owner’s title to and equity in the assets, as well as receive delivery of the assets and title documents at a specified auction site, by a specified date and in a specified condition of repair. Advances against auction contracts are generally secured by the assets to which they relate, as the Company requires owners to provide promissory notes and security instruments registering the Company as a charge against the asset. Advances against auction contracts are usually settled within two weeks of the date of sale, as they are netted against the associated auction proceeds payable to the owner. ​ Assets Held for Sale ​

​ On March 17, 2022, the Company completed the sale and leaseback of a parcel of land including all buildings, in Bolton, Ontario, Canada for a total sale consideration of $208.2 million Canadian dollars (approximately $165 million) net of closing and transaction costs, and recognized a gain on disposition of property, plant and equipment of $169.1 million. The net book value of the Bolton property was $7.1 million. The payments for the lease were not considered to be at market rates given an initial two year rent free period and, accordingly, the Company adjusted the sales proceeds and the gain to fair value. The Bolton property continues to be used for auction operations under the operating leaseback agreement until the completion of the acquisition and development of a replacement property located in Amaranth, Ontario, Canada (Note 26). On February 3, 2023, the Company signed an amendment to its agreement to purchase a replacement property, and as a result of the vendor completing its conditions under the agreement, the Company anticipates to close the purchase of the Amaranth property of $22 million in early March 2023 and begin its development. ​ At December 31, 2021, the Company also classified vacant land in Casa Grande, Arizona with a net book value of $10.5 million as an asset held for sale. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company assessed that the property no longer met the asset held for sale criteria and therefore reclassified the net book value of the property to property, plant and equipment.
