| Do I need my Bargain Network membership card to get into auctions? |
|
| No, you do not. To attend public auctions, simply bring a valid driver's license (or equivalent) and some form of currency to use in making your purchases. For "dealer only" auctions, you may need a dealer's license. Please call the specific auction house to confirm the necessary requirements prior to attending. |
|
|
| Do you need to be a Bargain Network member to look at foreclosures or attend the auctions? |
|
| You do not need to be a Bargain Network member to go to auctions or look at foreclosed property. However, Bargain.com's service performs all the research for you, ensuring you see most every listing and making it much easier for you to get the information you need. |
|
|
| Do I need a special license when I go to the auctions? |
|
| Generally speaking, private citizens are welcome to purchase at public auctions, and only a driver's license or equivalent identification is required. If however, an auction is classified as "dealers only," you will not be able to attend unless you are a licensed dealer. Please call the auction house in the listing to obtain more specific information. |
|
|
| Why do listings change from day-to-day? |
|
| As with any business, items are continually bought and sold on a daily basis. Bargain.com continuously updates its database to reflect these changes. |
|
|
| Can you drive the cars at the auctions? |
|
| Each auction is a little different. There are phone numbers in the listings, so please call ahead and ask for specific details. Generally speaking, most car auctions allow you to start the engines but do not allow you to test-drive the vehicle. |
|
|
| Do you have to pay cash at the auctions? |
|
| Most auctions accept cash, cashier's checks, and money orders. Personal checks and credit cards are accepted at some private auctions. Proper identification is required when using a check or credit card and checks usually need to be accompanied with a letter of guarantee from the bank. If the auction does not accept credit cards, simply go to an ATM and use the cash advance feature on your credit card to get the necessary amount for your purchase. However, each auction is a little different. There are phone numbers in the listings, so please can call ahead and ask for specific details. |

| What types of vehicles can I expect to find at an auction? |
|
| You'll find everything from economy cars and trucks to sport and luxury vehicles--the same vehicles you see on the road everyday. If you're looking for a specific vehicle, please check our website and then contact the auction house/agency to confirm its availability. |
|
|
| Are the cars/vehicles in good condition? |
|
| All auctions have different kinds of cars so it will depend on the inventory that is available for sale at each specific auction site. Auctions usually have a preview period, so you can check out the cars ahead of time. We recommend you arrive an hour early, so you'll have plenty of time to go through the lot and check out all the cars that are for sale. When the bidding starts, you'll have a good idea of which cars you're interested in, and you can focus your time there. |
|
|
| Are all the cars/vehicles less than $500? |
|
| It's possible to get cars or vehicles at the auctions for $500 or less. Just remember these are auctions, and whoever's the highest bidder gets the car or vehicle. |
