The bidding process is strictly done online, and is divided in two parts: Preliminary Bidding and Live Bidding.

Preliminary Bidding

In SalvageReseller.com you can place preliminary bids, or pre-bids, prior to and during the live auction, as late as two minutes or two units before the vehicle appears on the block. When you pre-bid, you place an incremental value bid on the vehicle prior to the sale. Your pre-bid will be represented during the live auction and could be the winning bid if no other bidder submits a higher bid during either the pre-bid phase or the live auction. Note that when there is a tie between pre-bid and live bid amounts, the virtual (live) bidder prevails as the highest bidder on the item. Pre-bidding is open to all SalvageReseller.com Members who meet minimum deposit requirements.

Live Bidding

From the Live Auctions menu, click on Join Auctions and bid from your computer by selecting from one of the automatic increment options or choosing your own bid amount (Monster Bid). Compete against other Members to become the high bidder, and if your bid is the highest when the circular, dynamic countdown timer stops, you win the sale of the vehicle.

At this point, Sellers who have placed a minimum bid or declared the vehicle Sold on Approval can directly counter bid the high bidder after the sale ends. Even when Sellers don’t counter bid on these vehicles, the high bid on an offer remains open to acceptance by the Seller until 6 p.m. the next business day after the sale.

Please be aware that if you're looking for a car in perfect condition, we might not be the right website for you.
