Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Manchester runs online-only auctions; there is no on-site, in-lane bidding. The office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so plan payment and pickup for weekdays within the posted office hours. Fees (buyer premiums) are not publicly listed and are viewable only once logged in. Capital mentions providing a third-party shipping quote link but does not operate its own delivery service. No mobile apps, virtual queue, PIN codes, or transporter-specific app requirements are referenced on the Manchester pages—release is handled via a Gate Pass after payment.
Pickup Rules
Vehicles cannot be removed until paid in full. After payment, a Gate Pass/receipt is provided and must be presented for vehicle release. Pickup required within 2 business days to avoid storage fees. Manchester does not provide plates of any kind—bring your own plates or arrange towing/transport.
