Next Auction May 23-24, 2025

 

The 50th Annual Enthusiast Collector Car Auction

 

Thank you for consigning your classic

in our upcoming 2024 Fall Collector Car Auction event.

 
 

LOCATION

THE SEVEN CHIEFS SPORTSPLEX

Tsuut’ ina Nation – Anderson Road and Stoney Area

All Auction Vehicles will be displayed and kept inside unless unsold and removed.

 

Our 2024 Fall Auction will be conducted

entirely through online bidding.

This format has proved to be very successful for our sellers and allows us to arrange sales for them during or after the auction – a bonus we have not been able to take advantage of during our previous traditional auctions.

Bidding will begin on Wednesday, September 4th at 6 am

and will close on Saturday evening starting at 5 pm.

NOTE – MOST OF THE BIDDING OCCURS IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES AS BIDDERS ALWAYS TEND TO WAIT….

If you are considering Lowering your Reserve:

Please call or present the new number on Friday when you check in.

It is more difficult to alter the Reserve while bidding is occurring.

We are very effective and market thoroughly, but please ensure you have been aggressive with your Reserve to prompt active bidding above it.

We strongly advise you not to:

1. Set your Reserve at a price you previously advertised the vehicle for but couldn’t sell.

2. Arrive upon a value based on the total of your receipts.


WE HAVE EXTENSIVELY MARKETED THIS EVENT AND

THE CARS BEING BROUGHT TO MARKET.

WE DO OUR BEST WITH THE $350 BUDGET PROVIDED PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CAR OPERATES AS ADVERTISED LONG BEFORE THE EVENT.

WE HAVE A MINIMUM $500 NO-SHOW FEE AS AGREED TO IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONSIGNMENT FORM YOU FILLED OUT.

WE DEPEND ON A GOOD REPUTATION AND WANT TO DELIVER THE CARS TO THE BIDDING PUBLIC TO REVIEW AS PROMISED.


******FUEL LEVELS******

It is Fire Code that vehicles not have more than a 1/4 tank of fuel in them to be stored indoors. Please ensure your vehicle is in compliance.


 
 
 

Insurance

All vehicles are required to have active insurance covering Personal Liability/Property Damage – waiver at registration. You can display your vehicle however you wish, locked, unlocked, hood open, etc. Ultimately, it is your vehicle, you are displaying it with the assumed risk however you like.

Leave your insurance on the vehicle until you have received your payout.


Proof of ownership or Registration
You must bring valid proof of ownership or registration with you. We cannot accept photocopies of old Registrations or Bills of Sale. We require original documents. They may not be current but they must be original. If you need to Re-Register your vehicle please do it.

Bidding On Your Own Vehicle

..Bidding on your own vehicle does not eliminate fees/commissions if you are the high bidder OR a “BUY BACK” – specifically on an Unreserved lot. If you bid on your vehicle above the Reserve and no other bids come in, you will be subject to fees and commissions as per any other bidder. It may be best to not do it.

AUCTION VEHICLES ONLY WITHIN THE PARKADE

Access to the parkade is on the west-facing side. If you are trailering your vehicle, please unload it in the west lot and drive into the arena where you will be checked in. Have your paperwork (registration) with you.

Please remove your license plate but leave the screws for the next guy! Should it not sell put your plate back on…

Lot numbers will be assigned on Monday, all auctions will start closing at the above-mentioned times.

If your vehicle does sell

  1. We will process the payment – we now ask for wire payments from buyers to reduce risk.
  2. We will issue the correct paperwork to the buyer and release the vehicle
  3. You can expect a cheque from us in the mail the following week

We are now asking buyers to transfer funds via Wire Payments. Regardless, payouts will be issued within 10 business days.

IN THE VERY RARE OCCASION THAT WE HAVE A BUYER UNHAPPY FOR LEGITIMATE REASONS AND WE ARE ENGAGED IN AN ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE, WE ALWAYS ENSURE THE COMPLAINT IS REASONABLE BEFORE FURTHERING THE SITUATION. ON OCCASION WE HAVE HAD SELLERS TAKE THEIR VEHICLE BACK. WE WILL NOT WORK FOR FREE AND WILL PURSUE LOST INCOME DUE TO FALSE CLAIMS.

IN THE 15 YEARS OF OWNING THIS BUSINESS IT HAS HAPPENED LESS THAN A DOZEN TIMES. WE PROTECT OUR SELLERS AND OUR BUYERS AS BEST WE CAN.

We will be marketing your classic immediately, so please have all things buttoned up and ready to go for the event. 

NO-SHOW FEES APPLY AND ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE.

Do what it takes to get your vehicle to the event.
