How Bidding Works

Register online at LocalAuctions.com or in person. A $300 hold is required to bid — refunded if you don't win, applied to your purchase if you do.
Bid Live — 3 Sales a Week
Live auctions Tuesday & Thursday at 5:30 PM and Saturday at 3:00 PM — in person in Peoria or online. Bids can be revoked before close by calling the office; once closed, all bids are final.
Pay & Drive Home
Settle your invoice and pick up your vehicle. Our team walks you through title paperwork on the spot. Arrange your funds before bidding — financing is not offered.
Auction Payments & Fees
Simple, published pricing — no hidden dealer or documentation fees.
Good to know: backing out after winning incurs a 15% restocking fee plus the $300 hold. Vehicle auction fees shown — general merchandise and onsite sales may vary where stated in the listing.
Know Before You Bid
Sold As-Is, Where-Is
We're a public consignment auction dealer. Vehicles are sold without implied warranty and are exempt from emissions testing.
Conditions Vary
Honestly? About one-third are great, one-third decent, and one-third may have major issues. That's how auction pricing works.
That's Why We're Transparent
Check-in summaries, AutoCheck history, disclosed codes, and real lot-only test drives let you separate the deals from the duds.
Pro tip: always preview, scan codes, and take a lot-only test drive before bidding. Visit Monday–Friday, 10 AM–4 PM.
Frequently Asked Questions
