Do I have to have any special dealer’s license or special permit in order to bid? No, our auctions are open to the public.
Therefore no dealer’s license or special permits are required.
However you must register prior to placing any bids. To
register, you will need a photo identification card and you must
sign a contract acknowledging that you accept the terms of the
auction.
How will I know in advance what items are going up for auction? There is a listing of the auctions that can be
obtained by clicking on the "Upcoming Auctions" navigation
link, located on our home page. This very unique feature
directs you into our computer database, allowing you to access
information about all scheduled auctions that we have coming up.
This not only allows you to access a listing of the items, but in
many cases you can actually see a picture of the item. Remember
however, this list is updated almost daily as items arrive for
the auction. The closer the date is to the auction, the more
listings will appear.
Do you only conduct auctions at your facility, or can you hold an auction at my business? We are completely mobile, therefore we can
definitely hold an auction just about anywhere. We are licensed
in Louisiana and Texas. Additional licenses can be obtained in
other states as needed. Although we have over 5,800 square feet
of building space and over 35 acres of land to hold auctions at
our facility, we have a new modern auction clerking and
cashiering trailer as well as a mobile auctioneer’s trailer that
allows us easily hold auctions anywhere. Just give us a call at
(318) 929-7003, and we will get the ball started.
Do you offer a warranty or guarantee with the items sold through the auctions? NO, we do not sell any item with any type of
warranty or guarantee. All items are sold “as is” where is. For
more information, please read our bidder terms.
Can I pay with a personal or business check? No, we do not accept personal or business
checks, unless the check is accompanied with a bank letter of
guarantee. We do accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and
Discover. There is an additional 5% surcharge added to the
purchase price if you are using a credit card.
What if I need financing on a particular vehicle or equipment sold through the auction? Although we do not offer financing, many of our
customers have obtained financing through their bank.
Arrangements for financing however must be made in advance with
your bank. Once you have approval from your bank, we suggest
that they grant you the authority to write a check which they
will guarantee on your behalf (a bank letter of guarantee must be
presented however if you plan on writing a check. Otherwise your
bank must contact us and work out the details prior to the
auction. If you prefer to use our bank, we suggest that you
contact a representative with Community Bank Of Louisiana, as
they are very helpful in providing financing options to both
individuals and businesses.
Can I get a permanent bidder number? Yes. If you are a regular customer, we do offer
permanent bidder cards to our customers. You must first complete
a permanent bidder agreement. Once we receive the completed
agreement, we can process your request and mail your permanent
card and bidder number to you.
