I want to buy a truck but do really understand how it works i know we can bid and also we can buy now but when bidding do i put a deposit down before i bid and if so do i get my deposit back if i don’t win bid?

Yes, you must put a deposit down before you can activate any bid. The deposit is either $600 or 10% of your bid amount (whichever is greater). Considering we don’t actually charge your credit card for the deposit amount, we just put a hold on it, the funds never leave your credit card. If we do not use your deposit towards a purchase, the hold will automatically get released within 5 business days back to you credit card. Learn more about Credit Card Hold FAQ. Read more

If I have created a “watchlist” of several vehicles that will all be auctioned “live” during the same time period; how do I know when each saved vehicle will come up for open live bidding and not miss bidding on any of the vehicles? Can I get the run numbers ahead of the actual start time?

Run numbers are only available at auction start time. Sorry, but unless you actually open each item during live auction you will not know it. If you wish to bid on multiple items, you should do a pre-bid style bid. Please keep in mind, if it sells for less, you get it for less. Read more
