All bids placed are final and non-retractable.
A bid is considered a binding contract.
When placing a bid, you are entering a contract to purchase the item and to deliver payment within the time period specified.
By bidding, you are agreeing to purchase that item for your bid amount, plus any and all fees.
Do not bid on an item, or multiple items, if you cannot pay.
Failure to pay for an item is considered fraud.
Bidder is required to pay $500 nonrefundable deposit upon winning bid. Upon auction end, this deposit will be charged to your credit card and deducted from the balance due.
The registered bidder's name and address will be the name and address on the vehicle title/registration paperwork, therefore, do not purchase a vehicle for someone else.

MAX BIDS
When you place a max bid, HiBid's bidding technology will automatically place bids on your behalf, using the smallest increment necessary to ensure you remain the high bidder until your max bid is met.
TIE BIDS
If you place a bid and receive an email with the word Outbid in the subject line, it means another bidder has placed the same bid before you, or a max bid that is higher than yours, therefore you are not the high bidder.
