Buying at an Auction

MAC offers several different methods to bid at our auctions. The usual method is attending the auction and participating in the bidding. However, if you're unable to attend, you can either place an Absentee Bid or bid live, in real-time, from your computer. If you are interested in either Absentee bidding or live on-line bidding please click one of the links below to guide you through the process.

 

The drive-thru portion of our auction begins with the "terms of bidding and sale" announcement promptly at the auction start time. Equipment is driven across the auctioneers staging area where you may bid on equipment from your seat. After the drive-thru portion of the sale is complete, MAC then conducts two separate auctions for the larger equipment that is not driven over the auctioneer staging area and the smaller tools equipment. If you plan on bidding in both auctions, please make sure you either leave an absentee bid or make arrangements to have someone bid on your behalf. Please be aware if you have someone bid on your behalf, you are responsible for all purchases made with your bidder card regardless of who bids on your behalf.

Insurance is the responsibility of the buyer as soon as the bid is awarded by the auctioneer. Please make prior arrangements to have any equipment you may purchase insured.

Please make sure you inspect any equipment prior to bidding. DO NOT bid on any equipment that you have not thoroughly inspected. All equipment is sold "as is, where is" and Midwest Ag & Construction Auctions does not guarantee any piece of equipment to be mechanically sound. Descriptions in the catalog are a guide only and it is your responsibility to check serial numbers and the condition of the equipment before you make a bid and all bids are final and will not be "run through" again. You will be legally responsible for any purchases you make at auction.
