What happens if my Lot does not sell?

If your Lot does not sell, we suggest listing it again with a “Buy it Now” price.
The “Buy it Now” price would be set at the same amount as what the reserve was, this will then still give any previous interested buyers the chance to purchase the Lot.

How do you choose which Lots to accept for auction?

All auction lots are evaluated by us first. We review several of the lot’s characteristics including condition, collectability, history, documentation, and more.

What happens if my lot is not accepted for auction?

Not every lot is accepted for auction. If a submission does not meet our criteria, we will contact you to explain why your lot was not accepted.
But don’t despair! As an alternative option, we will assist you in selling your Item on our Classified section.

How do reserves work?

A reserve is the minimum price you are willing to sell your Lot for.
We will work with you to set a market correct reserve. Realistic reserves increase the overall buyer experience which can increases bidding activity. Reserve values are not shown to bidders, we do reveal when reserves are nearly reached or have been met during the live auction.

Should I reveal my reserve price?

When you are a seller, the reserve price you set is private and confidential and should remain that way. Revealing your reserve price before an auction ends can negatively limit your Lot from reaching its bidding success.
Never reveal your price especially in public comments. If asked, simply refer the bidder to the auction and prompt them to bid a price that they are comfortable with.

Can I edit my listing once the auction goes live?

Generally, edits are not permitted once an auction has gone live. If you feel an edit is necessary, please contact us with your request at auction@koskinimport.com.
You can also leave comments and can answer bidder questions on the vehicle description page during the auction to help improve the clarity of your listing.

Can I make a deal outside of the auction?

Lots listed on Koskin Import Auctions are for sale exclusively through the auction site and subject to contract. We incur considerable expense to advertise listings, maintain & operate the platform, and support an administrative staff. As such, if a buyer or seller subverts the auction by attempting to make a deal outside of the auction, you will be banned from the site.
If a buyer attempts this tactic with a seller, the best approach is to simply refer the buyer back to the auction and instruct them to place a bid that they are comfortable with.

Can I relist my Lot if it doesn't sell?

Lots can be relisted, but we suggest that their is a cooling off period and not listed again too soon.

Can I cancel my auction listing?

We do not allow the cancellation of listings once the auction goes live. Only in extreme cases where a Lot has suffered a significant change such as theft or damage will there be consideration. Please notify us if such an event occurs.

Can you provide me a photographer recommendation?

We offer an on-site professional photography upgrade option for an additional fee. If interested, please contact us about this.

Registering to bid is easy and free.
First register, then create an account. Once your account has been created, you will receive an email confirmation. You are required to enter your credit/debit card information from your account page prior to becoming an active bidder.

Why do I have to enter my credit/debit card information?

We require your card details for the 5% buyers premium. This will be charged to your card immediately after the end of the auction.
The buyers premium will only be charged if the Lot sells at your highest bid.

If you have any doubts, please do not bid.

Why does the auction clock keep resetting back two minutes, if there are last-minute bids?

If a bid is placed within the last two minutes of an auction, an additional two minutes is added to prevent any last minute “sniping.” This helps ensure all interested bidders have a fair chance to bid.

What happens if I win an auction and how does payment work?

Congratulations!
You will be notified automatically of your win and charged the appropriate 5% buyers premium fee based on your winning bid. We will then be in contact with you to arrange the final payment, also to organize transport preparations if required.

How do I contact a seller?

Once the Seller has answered, the question and answer will be visible for everyone to see. This is to help other potential buyers that might have the same questions.

How can I inspect a Lot?

So last night about 40km from home, I had to pull over as there was a terrible snow storm and driving conditions were terrible. Anyone that has driven a truck like this before knows that they are not fun in slippery conditions when empty, totally different truck when loaded.

I had two ...decisions, chance the drive home or leave the truck and trailer at the petrol station and get a taxi home. I decided on the taxi option, but even that had its moments and had me thinking that maybe I should have just driven home myself 😬

This morning I went to collect it as driving condition are better, and I now have some weight to put on the back.
So all is good in the end 👍

In the morning there’s hardly any snow in sight and I’m actually thinking that spring is around the corner..then at the end of the day on the way home I get caught up in a snow blizzard, with predicted 30cm of snow by Monday 😩
