Listen carefully to all announcements. Familiarize yourself with the 'Light System' and 'Selling Policy' sections of this brochure.
When bidding, be sure to raise your hand in a manner that allows the auctioneer to see your bid and keep your bidder badge in clear view.
Know what you are bidding on before you bid. For example: Do not buy a vehicle with a standard transmission when you can only drive an automatic; or a vehicle that has 110,000 miles on it, when you thought it only had 10,000 miles. SATISFY YOURSELF. Remember once you win a bid on a vehicle you own it!
Subject to the sellers' approval, the last bidder is legally obligated to purchase the vehicle. Note: Vehicles are not guaranteed to pass state inspection, where applicable.
On-Approval Vehicles. Vehicles sold "On-Approval" will not be released to buyers unless and until the seller notifies MASON DIXON of its acceptance of the high bid. In some instances, it may take up to two business days, after the day of the sale, for the seller to provide MASON DIXON notification of high bid acceptance. However, the majority of "On-Approval" vehicles receive acceptance or rejection on Day of Sale. Buyers need to contact MASON DIXON’s office for vehicle status.
