Why would my bid be outbid after the close of bidding?

Please understand that RideSafely does not conduct the auctions but serves as an intermediary platform. After pre-bidding concludes on our site, the item enters a live auction attended by various bidders. RideSafely provides access to this live auction on our website, ensuring our customers can continue to bid during the live event, assuming their deposit is adequate.

If you have any questions or need assistance, our RideSafely team is here for you. Don’t hesitate to call us at 215-289-0300.

Why do I have to pay for a bid while the bidding process is ongoing?

The deposit confirms your genuine interest in bidding on an item. Should the item be successfully purchased but not paid for, the deposit covers the relisting fees at the auction. You are ensuring a committed and responsible bidding process for all participants. For more details on how this process benefits your auction experience, visit RideSafely’s FAQ section.

How do I start getting ready to bid?

To start bidding with RideSafely, identify the vehicle or item that captures your interest. Then, decide whether you want to place a pre-bid and let us bid on your behalf at the auction or participate directly in live bidding during the auction.

For pre-bidding, place your bid, review the associated fees, and confirm the fees. Upon confirming the fees, the system will prompt you to secure your bid with a deposit. This deposit, $600 or 10% of your bid amount (whichever is higher), can be conveniently made online using a credit or debit card. Monitor your chosen item until the auction closes to ensure your bid remains the highest. We will represent your interests up to the maximum amount specified during the auction.

Alternatively, if you prefer live bidding and the item is part of a live auction broadcast, you can click the “increase limit” option on the top right-hand corner of the page to place your deposit. This action enables you to participate in the live bidding process as the auction unfolds.

For further assistance or any inquiries you might have, the RideSafely team is always ready to help. Feel free to reach out to us directly by calling (215) 289-0300.
