Frequently asked questions
The basics on bidding, paying, pickup and selling. Still have a question? Call 520-500-3256.
How do I bid?
All of our auctions run online on EquipBid. Create a free EquipBid account, open our auction, and place your bids from your phone or computer. Placing a bid is a binding agreement to buy.
Is there a buyer's premium?
Yes. An 18% buyer's premium is added to the winning bid on every lot.
Can I see the equipment before I bid?
Yes, and we encourage it. Each auction lists its inspection days and times, and you can also call us to set up a visit to our Tucson yard.
How do I pay?
Invoices under $2,000 can be paid by credit or debit card. Invoices over $2,000 must be paid by cashier's check, cash, or wire transfer. We don't accept personal or business checks.
How does pickup work?
Pickup is by appointment only. Pickup dates and times change from auction to auction, so check the removal info on each auction listing. After the auction, open your invoice on EquipBid, click "Manage Invoice," and pick a time.
Do you ship?
No, we don't ship. You're welcome to send your own hauler or freight company. They'll need a copy of your paid invoice and must pick up during the scheduled pickup times.
Is everything sold as-is?
Yes. All items are sold as-is, where-is, with no warranties, and all sales are final. That's why we recommend inspecting before you bid.
