The Auction Yard allows sellers to list a wide variety of assets, including cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, trailers, construction equipment, firearms, real estate, and complete estate sale inventories. Sellers may list single items or grouped lots, depending on the asset category and condition.
Any individual, estate representative, business, or licensed entity may sell through The Auction Yard as long as proper documentation is provided. Sellers must verify ownership or authority to consign the listed assets and comply with all legal requirements, particularly when listing firearms or real estate.
Sellers can consign their vehicle or asset by submitting a consignment request through The Auction Yard website or by visiting the auction office directly. Required steps include providing asset details, clear photographs, ownership documents, and choosing optional services such as vehicle detailing or appraisal.
The Auction Yard may charge a flat listing fee or commission percentage depending on the item type and category. For example, real estate, estate sales, and firearms may carry specific listing rates or legal documentation fees. Full fee schedules are disclosed before signing the consignment agreement.
The Auction Yard supports bulk consignments, including multiple vehicles, equipment fleets, or estate lots. Dedicated account managers assist high-volume sellers to streamline paperwork, transportation, and sale coordination.
Sellers are not required to attend the live auction in person. All updates, bid histories, and results are provided via seller dashboards or email. However, presence is welcome if preferred, particularly for high-value or collector assets.
If bidding does not meet the reserve price, the asset remains unsold. Sellers can choose to relist the item, adjust the reserve, negotiate with the highest bidder, or retrieve the asset from The Auction Yard premises depending on post-sale policy.
Once the auction concludes and the winning bid clears payment, The Auction Yard processes the buyer's transaction and begins seller disbursement procedures. The seller is notified via email and dashboard alert of the sale status and final payout.
Sellers are paid within 7 to 10 business days following payment clearance from the buyer. Funds are transferred by check or direct deposit as selected in the seller profile. All deductions, including commission and applicable fees, are detailed in the settlement report.
Sellers must provide clear ownership documents such as vehicle titles, property deeds, asset affidavits, or firearm transfer forms, depending on the item type. Additional paperwork may be required for estate sales, business liquidations, or federally regulated assets.
Sellers are responsible for delivering assets to the designated auction yard during the check-in window. Transportation can be arranged independently or coordinated with The Auction Yard’s referred carrier network. Vehicles and equipment must be accompanied by required documents at drop-off.
If the item remains unsold, the seller may store it at The Auction Yard temporarily, but must retrieve it within the grace period outlined in the consignment agreement. Extended storage incurs daily fees, and uncollected items may be subject to lien or forfeiture policies.
The Auction Yard does not guarantee that an asset will sell, as final sale depends on market interest and bidding activity. However, professional marketing, a competitive platform, and strategic scheduling significantly increase exposure and sell-through likelihood.
