We
are a consignment auction - which means that people
(consignors) bring us their items to sell
at scheduled sales, and we (CVA) are only agents for the consigners. We normally have a sale between 6 & 12 week apart
(usually five a year). It is a live auction with bidders actively bidding
in front of auctioneers at a fast pace. We may also hold an 'away'
sale taking place at an business or privately owned location that has one, a
couple or just a few consigners. We send brochures & email notifications
about our sales and all you have to do is sign up to receive them.
Buying
items at our auctions is a very simple process. You may get your bidder
card early or simply show up on the
day of our auction and get your card then. We require a driver licenses
or a photo ID. Once you have your card you are set. We do not
charge a 'Buyers Premium'. All that we ask is that you pay for your purchases the day
of the auction. We accept cash or checks accompanied by a letter of
guarantee from your bank. Buyers accept that all purchases are "as
is, where is" with no guarantees or warranties expressed or implied.
A sales tax may be charged depending on purchases. All sales are final.
(Early
sign up will be Monday thru Friday the week before a sale)
(Early
sign up for February Sale will start at least a week before the sale)
Vehicle
Purchasers: Processing of paperwork may take up to 20
days from the day of sale, unless posted/stated otherwise. As-Is's will be
posted on vehicles and buyer will be required to sign a copy. Paperwork
is mailed certified mail. It is the buyers responsibility to register
vehicles with the DMV. Central Valley Auction is NOT a
dealer; we are acting only as an agent for the seller.
Notice:
As we are a consignment auction, we therefore can not guarantee that an
advertised or posted item will actually make it into the yard for the
auction. So if you are interested in a specific piece, please call us to
confirm that the item is here the day before the auction.
When
you (the consignor) arrive with your items you will pull into the yard and
park your vehicle (off to the side, please don't block the gates) and come on
into the office where we will take all your information (including a list of
what it is you are bring in to sell, please check out our 'Office
Policy' for more information) and we will give you a consignor
number. You will get tags with your consignor number on them to put on
each of the lots (pallet of items) that you just consigned in. You will
then proceed out to the yard and our yard man will help you, just let him know
you are new and are unsure of what to do. The
Consignor needs have all equipment in our yard 2 weeks prior to the auction
date. Call for cutoff dates and for more information. Space is
limited and cutoff dates may change at any time. We reserve the
right to refuse any item for consignment. If you are selling a vehicle or trailer that is or
has been
registered with the DMV, the title must be in your name. All vehicles must
be currently
registered or on a non-op and they must be smog'd (unless a
diesel) with in the last two months before the sale date. We must have the
titles and a Bill of Sale signed prior to auction. Our commission rates are as follows:
 |
15%
on large equipment, vehicles, trailers & most pipe
|
|
35%
on miscellaneous items on pallets & small equipment
|
|
6%
Bid Back Fee on equipment the consignor buys back
