There are two ways to sell your motorcycle: unreserved or reserved. An unreserved motorcycle sells to the highest bidder. A 10% commission of the selling price is charged, with no consignment fee. On a reserved motorcycle you set the minimum selling price (you do have the right to change your mind on the floor and accept the highest bid). A 10% commission of the selling price is charged, and the consignment fee is $100 if received by February 1st and $150 thereafter. There will be a $150 minimum commission charged. We reserve the right to refuse consignments with unreasonable reserves or motorcycles deemed not suitable for the auction.

Feature bikes will be good, collectable, (about $2000 or more in value) motorcycles consigned without reserve. We will provide early spots in the auction and special advertising. Sellers should pre-consign before Jan 20th and guarantee to bring the bike to the auction. We need to have the bikes at the Edmunds Center by 12 Noon on Thursday for placement and evaluation.
* Feature bike consignors can take advantage of our special early registration for them on Tuesday March 4th starting at 1PM.

Consign your motorcycle early so we can advertise it for you. Send us a photo or two using a neutral background—like a white garage door. We will have information cards available—does the bike run now? Did the bike run when you parked it years ago?—and so on. Bring your bike to the Center as early as possible, as buyers will be inspecting the motorcycles they want to consider buying. Remember, too, that the earlier you bring your bike in—the earlier number and placement in the sale it will have. Don't forget to leave the key in the bike so we can run it for the buyers.

Our sales rate has been over 80% for years! This sale is an international event with buyers coming from all over the world. Our buyers bid with the confidence that they are buying at fair market value. Consider registering your bike unreserved. We will green tag it—this lets the buyers know that they can buy your bike at fair market value. Unreserved bikes always draw more interest and more bids, plus you also save the consignment fee. If we receive your consignment before February 1st we will be able to advertise your bike as selling unreserved—attracting more buyers

You must have a good, transferable title in your name, unless you are a dealer, or have a notarized power of attorney from the person who's name is on the title. Example: if you have a title that is in "Fred Smith's" name, in order to sell it, you must be Fred Smith, or have a notarized power of attorney from Fred Smith for you to sell it. We have power of attorney forms and will be happy to send them to you if you call. The only exceptions will be vehicles that are considered "off-road" and do not come with a title. If your state does not title old bikes, then a registration in your name will serve as a title. If your state will not title, or register your bike for you with the paper work you have, and your bike is more than 10 years old, you may be able to purchase a title from a title company. Try "Broadway Title Company" at 800-464-3222, or International Title Service at 800-543-8626. We can not accept motorcycles with altered serial numbers. Licensed, bonded Florida title agents will handle title transfers for a very reasonable fee, guaranteeing you the proper paperwork.

We have made arrangements with Federal Companies Motorcycle Transportation Services to have your motorcycle picked up at your door —anywhere in the country. The freight will be billed to us and we will deduct it from your settlement after the machine is sold. We think the rates are reasonable—just call our office to make arrangements: 407-831-4331. We will sell it for you at the world's best motorcycle auction and mail your check to you the week after the sale. We are licensed and bonded and have the best reputation in the motorcycle industry—call us for details.

You must register and get a "bidder's number" in order to buy at the auction sale. You will be required to leave a $200 deposit. The deposit is refundable at any time if you do not win any bids, or it will be credited towards your bill. There will be an 10% buyer's premium added to the purchase price. Payment in full is due on the night of the sale. Acceptable terms are: cash, bank checks, Traveler's Cheques, or a bank letter of credit guaranteeing payment of your check. The letter must be currently dated, include the account number to be used, and the amount of funds to be covered by the guarantee. You may also leave a deposit of $1000 per machine and pay the balance on Saturday morning. Another option is to do a wire transfer. We also accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Purchases can be picked up immediately after the sale on Friday after the auction, or on Saturday March 8th 8AM to 5PM. If you are a dealer or work with a dealer, be sure to bring a copy of the dealer's license and tax resale certificate. * TIPS: Please come to the Center early to check the bikes out-we have discount tickets so you can come every day if you like. Ask us to help you-we will start the machine, if we can, and give honest opinions about what you are considering.
