Q: Do I have to pay for my purchase?


A: Yes, once the auctioneer announces “Sold”. You are now the purchaser, which means you are bound by the agreement you have signed with Michener Allen Auctions.


Q: How do I Bid for vehicles – Never been to an auction before.


A: Although the auctions seems over whelming and fast paced with 120 vehicles per hour selling in four lanes. It is a very easy process to join into the bidding for a vehicle.

First, we run four indoor lanes, two lanes are for trucks and sport utilities and other two lanes for cars and passenger vans.

Once you have decided on the vehicle you are interested in, you can join the bidding process. Each lane will have two “ring men”, whose job is to help you in your bidding. Listening to an auctioneer can be difficult at first; they are fast and become very excited during the bidding. The “ring men” are there to help if you do not understand the auctioneer. When you make a bid you either raise your bid book or nod your head to the “ring men”. They will let the auctioneer know there is a new bid.

If you are successful the auctioneer will announce “Sold” and he will ask to see your Bid Number. You will then be asked to sign for your purchase.


Q: When do I go and pay?


A: If you are only looking for one vehicle or piece of equipment, you can go to the office and pay. This usually takes 10 to 15 minutes for your payment to be processed.
