Auction Terms

Items are located at 3164 Freeway Lane, Saginaw Mi 48601. For questions regarding listings; please contact Don or the sales department at (989) 776-1770. Sale items can be viewed and inspected on Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. All items purchased on-line are to paid for and picked up within 3 days from the auction end date. We are open for pick up and payment Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm. When a bid is accepted by the credit union, bank, court, trustee or lien holder, it is considered a legal binding contract, and all sales are final. After 3 days since notification of acceptance, the item may be re-listed or sold to the next bidder.

All items are sold “as is where is”, with NO guarantee, warranty, or possible refund written, expressed, or implied with the exception of our Certified Green Light items (Green Light means our mechanic has looked over the unit and completed repairs for a 5 day or 250-mile warranty, whichever comes first). We list the condition of the items as we know them, conditions are listed for convenience only, some conditions are unknown. Please note that all sales are final regardless of the condition. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to inspect, confirm, and investigate items before bidding. Buyrepos.net disclaims the accuracy of item information shown on the web site. Please note that if an item is not paid for and picked up within 3 days from the date of the auction, unless specified otherwise in writing from the auctioneer, the bidder will be in default and the item may be resold. The defaulting bidder will be banned from future auctions and will be required to pay a restocking fee of %5 (minimum of $50 and maximum of $1500).

A “soft close” bid will activate if there is an active bid placed on an item at 7:59:00 pm to 7:59:59 pm. If at 8:00 pm there are no bids placed in the last minute, the auction will be closed. If a bid is placed during the last minute, the auction for that item will extend 10 minutes. Bidding during the first 9 minutes of the extended time does not extend the time another 10 minutes unless a bid is placed in the last minute of the extension.

Examples:

  • Original bid = 7:52 pm. No other bids = item will close at 8:00 pm.
  • Original bid = 7:52 pm, another bid at 7:59:02 pm, bidding will be extended and closed at 8:09:02 if no other bids are made.
  • Original bid = 7:52 pm, another bid at 7:59:02 pm, bidding will be extended until 8:59:02 pm. Original bidder places another bid at 8:05:10 pm = bidding will close at 8:09:02 pm.
  • Original bid = 7:52 pm. Another bid at 7:59:02 pm, bidding will be extended until 8:59:02 pm, original bidder places another bid at 8:08:25 = bidding will be extended until 8:18:25 pm.

All sales are contingent upon approval from the credit union, bank, court, trustee, or lien holder affiliated with the item. Winning bidders will be notified when the bid is accepted, or offered a counter bid by the seller.

Note to buyers of titled items: Michigan Recovery Services Inc. is required by the State of Michigan to broker all vehicles. All appropriate paperwork required by the state must be signed for title transfers. We can apply for plates and registration through the Secretary of State for you (proof of insurance is required). Vehicles without registration, plates, and insurance must be towed or trailered. There is a $275 buyers fee, a document fee required by the state of %5 (maximum $260) and Michigan sales tax due at time of purchase. Title and registration fees, if chosen, are due at the time of purchase. Please note: title processing may take up to 15 days.

For out of country buyers: the State of Michigan requires we collect %6 sales tax and transfer the title as an “In Transit” through the Secretary of State before a title can be issued. All out of country buyers need to contact our sales department at (989) 776-1770 ext.3 to start the paperwork before the item can be taken across the border. Out of country titles may take 3-5 weeks
