Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
MotoBucks operates as a peer-to-peer online marketplace based in Las Vegas; vehicles remain with individual sellers and are not stored at an auction yard. Public buyers are allowed, and many listings are local-only to ensure quick pickup. Typical seller payment is cash in person, though some sellers allow bank wire; sellers often prohibit checks and cash apps. There is no evidence on the official site of transporter apps, gate passes, PIN codes, or digital yard check-in procedures since pickups occur at seller locations. An old third-party Android APK page for 'Motobucks' exists (APKPure, last updated 2018) but MotoBucks’ official site does not reference any required mobile app; bidding works through the website and phone verification.
Pickup Rules
Buyer receives seller contact info after paying the applicable MotoBucks fee/deposit and must contact the seller to schedule pickup, typically within 24 hours. Buyer inspects the vehicle at pickup; if the vehicle is not as described, the buyer may walk away and receive a refund of the MotoBucks fee under the Buyer Guarantee. Otherwise, the sale is final once payment is made to the seller.
