General Buying Tips

Experienced buyers and professionals are usually prepared for the excitement of the auction arena. It’s easy to get caught up in the action though, and following just a few simple guidelines before arriving at the auction venue and while bidding can assure that your purchase decisions are wise.

Inspection and Appraisal

There are quality appraisal and inspection options available to buyers. Don’t hesitate to consult with a professional about your purchase plans and take advantage of the sellers representing the vehicles prior to the sale. Research traditional print publications, examine chain of custody or history profiles when available, use web-based services and sites to determine all available information that could help. Print publications, manufacturing materials, original product brochures, club sites, specific vehicle registries, online magazines, and selling sites such as eBay and Collector Car Trader Online are all valuable resources. Be an educated buyer!

Transportation

Remember that when you buy a vehicle at an auto auction you still have to get it home. There are quality transportation carriers available to you through our auctions services representatives. We will also assist in any way possible with temporary storage should you require.

Insurance

Protect your investment by making arrangements with your existing insurance carrier to adequately insure your purchase investment.

Don’t Miss Your Dream Purchase

Vehicles are sold sequentially by lot number and sales on the podium average approximately 20 vehicles per hour. You can establish an approximate sales time by simply looking at the lot number and this will allow you to see the car running as it’s staged for sale and to most-likely have last minute interaction with the seller.

Auction Representatives

Auction representatives will be on stage and in the audience to help assure that your bids receive the proper attention and are placed correctly. Utilize their services.
