Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Company website states 'Specializing in Online Auctions' and links all current auctions through HiBid. Office/contact location on company site shows '14139 SD Highway 36, Hermosa, WY 57744'—Hermosa is in South Dakota (SD), suggesting a site typo; several listings show Hermosa, SD 57744 for pickup, while the 2023 cars & parts auction used a Newcastle, WY office for payment and a Newcastle pickup yard. Vehicles in that auction varied by title status (e.g., 'W/Title' vs 'Sold w/ BOS'); check each lot’s description. For buyers who prefer mobile, the exact app name is 'HiBid' (for bidders); there is no separate transporter app, gate pass, PIN, or digital check‑in described by this auction house.
