Since May 2020 our auctions have been online only.  There is no live bidding onsite.  

All sales are ‘AS IS, WHERE IS, without warranty of any kind either expressed or implied.

This is not an ‘absolute’ auction and some items are sold with reserve prices.  That being said in most cases the majority of the items in the auction are sold ‘absolute’ with no reserve.

You must register and create an account to participate in each of our auctions.  There is no cost to register, but a photo identification issued by a government agency will be required after purchase and you must be at least eighteen years old.  You can register before the auction through this web site.  As a bidder, you are responsible for inspecting each item that you bid on before you bid on it and you should not assume anything about the item’s  condition, fitness of use or merchantability that is not expressed explicitly in writing.  Do your due diligence before you bid, it is too late if you discover something about the item after you have been declared the winning bidder.

We do not do an ‘inspection’ for defects, but we do disclose what we know about the item.  When we state that an item ‘Runs & Moves’, this means that we were able to start the engine and the item moved under it’s own power at low speed on our yard.  It does not mean that the transmission was tested in all driving conditions and therefore it should not be assumed that it is in perfect working condition.  When bidding you should keep in mind that you will have no recourse if you discover defects after the fact.  Your only options will be to fix the item or resell the item as-is.  Manufacturer recalls may exist that have not been addressed by the current owner.  If these concern you then you should do your homework before bidding and find out if any recalls exist and what is involved in addressing them.

You must create an account and register to participate in any of our auction events online.  There is an internet fee that will be added to each transaction which would be in addition to any buyer premium that may apply to an item.   The internet fee varies by ring so be sure to check each rings terms and conditions.  Payment in full for anything purchased must be made before the close of business on the first Monday following the auction on Saturday.

If you are the high bidder on one item or multiple items,  you are responsible for payment according to the terms spelled out in the payment terms section of this web site.  Failure to do so will result in your being banned from participating in any of our future auctions and may result in judgements based on losses incurred by the seller as a result of non-payment. 

Again, buying at auction is not for everyone.  It requires a fair amount of self control and personal responsibility.  Due diligence is a must in order to minimize the chance of making a mistake.  Bidders come to auctions in hopes of a great deal and the trade off is the risk involved.  The risk is that the great deal may not turn out to be so great.  A smart bidder is the one who understands the risks, does all the due diligence possible, manages their expectations and learns how to play the odds.  Guarantees come at a cost and that is why it cost more when buying something with a warranty and that is why the vast majority of items sold at auctions are sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY of any kind.  The seller understands that they may not get quite as much for their item by selling it at auction, but they do not have to provide a guarantee or deal directly with the buyer.
