*** Auction Description ***

Founded in 1993, Bar None Auction is headquartered in prosperous Rancho Cordova, CA with permanent auction yards in Sacramento, Riverside, and Portland.

This auction advertises itself as “a premier public auction specializing in heavy equipment, commercial trucks and industrial support items.” But they also auction off fleet vehicles for government agencies and seized vehicles for police departments. Hundreds of cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles and more can be found selling for way below market value.

At some of their auctions you can also find personal property such as jewelry, computers, HDTVs… stolen and unclaimed property recovered by police departments.

Live and online auctions are held about twice per month at the Sacramento location. If you view the auction catalog online you will see that you can also register and bid online:

Your auction catalog will contain important information like the auction terms and conditions, an entire list of items for sale and the start times and locations for bidding. It also has your unique bidder number.

Your auction catalog lists each item by lot # and there is a matching sticker on each item to make them easy to find.

All items are sold in the order they are listed in the catalog and, depending on the auction, multiple items can be sold at the same time in different locations (Ring #1, Ring #2 and sometimes Ring #3). All start times and locations for items are listed on the summary page at the front of the catalog so you don’t miss out.

When you’re ready to place a bid, make sure you get the attention of a ringmen and raise your bidder number high. When they see you, they’ll point right at you and give a yell to the auctioneer recognizing your bid. After your bid is recognized, the ringmen will stay with you for as long as you wish to bid.

Bidding online is just like being there. Your will hear the auctioneer in real time as you bid against buyers from all over the world. The only difference is that instead of raising your bidder number you simply click your mouse.
