Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Online bidding is provided through Edge Pipeline (Auction Edge). The auction’s site specifies that buyers must have accounts in good standing with both NCAA and Edge Pipeline; it does not list a required mobile app for buyers or transporters, and it does not describe a digital gate pass, PIN, or appointment/virtual queue system. The tools portal shows ‘Attend Simulcast’ and other Auction Edge integrations. Special event example: the Classic Car Auction (May 31, 2025) listed separate deposit/fee terms ($1,000 cash buyer deposit; buyer fee 8%; seller fee 7%; dealer/public run fees); these appear event-specific rather than ongoing. Be aware of two pickup windows published: 30 calendar days (general policy in FAQs/Rules) versus 14 business days for online awards (Online Auction page). When in doubt, confirm with the office before arranging transport.
Pickup Rules
All vehicles must have a PAID GATE PASS before leaving the premises. General purchases: pick up within 30 calendar days; after 30 days, $25/day storage and vehicles may be sold for storage/abandonment. Online awards: pick up within 14 business days; storage fees apply thereafter (amount not specified on online page). Pickup only during business hours; risk of loss passes to buyer once awarded.
