What happens if I win a vehicle at the auction, but then change my mind and decide that I do not want it?

All bids are binding and all sales are final. If we successfully win a vehicle for you at auction and you decide to change your mind or forgo the sale, your deposit will be kept for relisting fees. Please be aware, relisting fees vary by auction. The minimum relist fee is $400 and it may be as high as 15% of your winning bid. Read more

If i have the highest bid at the end and there’s no live bidding, do i automatically win?

There is still a live auction that we have to attend with your bid. If we end up being the highest bidders at the live auction and there is no reserve, you will be notified of winning the item. Read more

Does winning a bid on this site mean I’ve actually won the vehicle, or do you take our highest bid to the auction to “see” if it wins?

When you place the highest bid on our site, we then represent your bid at the actual auction. Our strategy involves bidding in the smallest increments possible at the live auction to secure the best possible price for you. However, there are instances when items may sell for a higher price, leading to a lost sale for you. Should we be unable to acquire the vehicle on your behalf, rest assured that your deposit is fully refundable.

If you have any further queries or need assistance with RideSafely’s services, our dedicated support team is just a call away. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (215) 289-0300 for prompt assistance.

How do i know which car I’m bidding on will sale for the auction price and not have a reserve on it?

Unfortunately, we do not know if the vehicle has a reserve price until we end up winning that vehicle at auction. If we win and the item has a reserve price, we will notify you and let you know what the reserve is. Please keep in mind, we never go directly to the reserve price.

We will always try to negotiate with the seller to try to get you the best price possible.
