Worth knowing before you go
To bid, buyers register for a free Buyer Number on the day, providing photographic ID (an Australian driver's licence or passport) — no dealer licence is required to attend or bid. Successful bidders must pay a minimum deposit of 10% or $500 (whichever is greater) on the day, with the balance due by 4pm the following day. As with any auction purchase, vehicles are sold on an as-is basis, so buyers should inspect a vehicle in person before bidding.
