What is Preliminary Bidding? Auction Types

Preliminary bidding means bidding before the actual auction takes place. This is where RideSafely.com will collect the highest bidder and then present that offer at the actual live auction.

Keep in mind, we will bid in the smallest possible increments up to your max bid (if necessary) to try to get the best price for you at the vehicle auction. Read more

The auction can take up to 48 hours to post results. If the auction comes back with a counter offer or a reserve price, we would let you know so that you can make a decision.
