Preview Times

We encourage you to come to the auction to preview and inspect all of our vehicles and equipment that is for auction prior to the start of the auction. You can do your inspections prior to the Saturday auction on Wednesday between 9 am to 4 pm, Thursday between 9 am to 4 pm and Friday between 9 am to 4 pm.No pets or children allowed on the premise at any time.

How to Bid

The first step is to read and understand the terms and conditions of the auction. These are printed in the catalogue and posted on the website. By bidding you are deemed to have read these rules and conditions. Once you know which vehicle you wish to bid on make yourself comfortable and watch the action to familiarize yourself with the auction process. Have an idea in your mind of the price you wish to bid up to. The auctioneer will call for opening bids. Once the bidding begins the auctioneer will indicate the dollar increments the bidding will be taken in. It is important to carefully listen to the auctioneer. A vehicle bought at auction is a legally binding contract. Remember, you cannot bid on behalf of somebody else, our contract is with you, not them.

DO NOT BID if you can’t pay for the vehicle. A $500.00 deposit will be forfeited, if unable to pay, and you will be escorted from the premises and barred from any future auctions here and with associated auctions
