Sierra Auction (Tucson)

Online. Bidding occurs on Sierra’s own auction platform (sierraauction.auctioneersoftware.com). Some specialized inventory is sold via third-party marketplaces (GovDeals and AllSurplus), which require accounts on those platforms. No in-person bidding is indicated for current Tucson events.

Platform and apps: Bidding for Tucson events occurs on Sierra’s own platform (AuctioneerSoftware.com) via web; no specific buyer or transporter mobile app is required or referenced by Sierra. Some Sierra inventory also sells on third-party marketplaces (GovDeals, AllSurplus), which have their own accounts/apps. Deposits: Current Tucson vehicle event tiles explicitly state a $250 credit card authorization is required to bid, and vehicle/commercial equipment winners are auto-charged a $250 non-refundable deposit per winning lot. Load-out/payment windows and preview times are posted on each event tile and reiterated in the invoice email body, which Sierra instructs buyers to read carefully. Storage fees: The 2025 Fee Structure page lists stepped daily storage for vehicles and surplus, while the Terms (revised 3/5/2025) cite $20/day/lot beginning after 3:00 PM on the payment due date; follow your invoice email for the controlling rule as Sierra notes policies are subject to change. Driving/transport: Sierra suggests (not requires) that buyers have a 1–3 day temporary registration tag when picking up vehicles; out-of-state transport is buyer-arranged; vehicles are sold AS-IS and may be unsafe to drive; keys may not be present for inoperable units.

Follow the pickup location, dates, and hours in the body of your invoice email; Sierra emphasizes that auction-specific pickup info is in the invoice email body (not the PDF). Typical vehicle/surplus load-out windows are listed in each event (examples show Mon–Wed 8:00 AM–3:00 PM following the auction close). Payment must be completed before arrival; no on-site payments accepted.
