WHY DO I NEED TO ENTER A CREDIT CARD? Your card will be charged $.01 just to verify that it is an active card. That $.01 will be refunded to your account the next day. In the event you are the winning bidder and fail to honor your bid you will be charged $200. This policy allows us to keep our marketplace clean and free of bidders with no intent to purchase. We take the integrity of the auction seriously and this policy helps us maintain an awesome marketplace for everyone to use. You can use this card on file to pay for purchases and extend your pickup time to up to 1 week if you like. You may still bring cash or cashiers checks to the pickup if you prefer. You may use a different card altogether to pay for your purchases as well. We take security seriously and not only your card info but all personal info are stored on safe and secured offsite servers.

This is an “AS IS Auction”, we do everything in our power to list the cars condition accurately and highlight the major flaws in advance on the site. We provide the most thorough and in depth condition info of any public auto auction in the country. We are not perfect. These vehicles do not get a top to bottom inspection. We do not test drive them. We do our best to show and tell you anything we can see, smell, hear or feel. It is on YOU, the buyer to make your own determination of a vehicles fitness. We offer a wealth of info online and we offer inspection days 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. Come check them out. Bring a mechanic with you or someone you trust. Most of our inventory are older, higher mileage vehicles. Most vehicles will need repairs. 

YOU ARE EXPECTED TO HONOR YOUR BIDS. DO NOT BID ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES IF YOU CANNOT BUY MULTIPLE VEHICLES YOU ARE THE HIGH BIGGER ON. YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO BUY ANY VEHICLES WITHOUT BUYING ALL OF YOUR WON PURCHASES. WE WILL NOT LET YOU BUY 1, AND LEAVE THE OTHER. SO PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHER BIDDERS AND ONLY BID ON WHAT YOU WILL BUY SHOULD YOU BE THE HIGH BIDDER. 

It is the buyers responsibility to review and judge vehicle condition before bidding.
