There is a $100.00 (CASH) deposit registration that is fully refundable at the end of the auction (with bidder card) if you do not purchase a vehicle. You must register and receive a bidder’s number in order to bid; each bidder is allowed one guest and is responsible for the actions of that guest. Information provided at registration will be used to complete the Bill of Sale and Affidavit of Compliance. No changes will be made to the Bill of Sale or Affidavit of Compliance. The bidder’s number used will be the name and address on the Bill of Sale and Affidavit of Compliance. You must have a bidder card prior to viewing vehicles. Bidder cards must be visible at all times. Refunds (cash deposit) are given until 4 PM on the day of sale only. NO EXCEPTION. All vehicles are sold AS IS. There are NO GUARANTEES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED and there are no refunds. Terms of sale are CASH / VISA / CHECK / MASTERCARD / AMERICAN EXPRESS Vehicles must be PAID IN FULL by 3PM the DAY OF SALE.
