Selling (Consignors) at auctions-

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 are thereby hiring CVA as your agent in the selling of your items.  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.  Check the 'Current Event' section or call for cutoff dates and for more information. Most items need to be in our yard at least a week prior to the auction date.   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  within the last two months before the auction date (limited exceptions).   Our commission rates per lot are as follows:  

  • 15% on large equipment, implements, vehicles, trailers & most pipe


  • 35% on miscellaneous items on pallets & small equipment

  • 6% Bid Back Fee on equipment the consignor buys back

      (commission rates as of April 2007)

Remember CVA is acting as your agent in the selling of your property.
