AUCTION SELLING
There are two ways to sell your motorcycle: unreserved
or reserved. An unreserved motorcycle sells to
the highest bidder. A sliding scale (see scale on Consignment
Registration page) based on the sale price of
the bike is charged. (Note: The minimum commission fee is
$200, therefore, if your motorcycle sells for less than $2,000
your commission fee will be a flat fee of $200 per lot number).
Consignment fees charged for unreserved entries are
refundable after the sale of the motorcycle. On a reserved motorcycle, you set the minimum
selling price (you do have the right to drop your reserve on the
block and accept the highest bid, but your consignment fee
remains non-refundable). A sliding scale commission of
the selling price is charged, and there is a
non-refundable consignment fee of $150 if received by February
15, 2011, and $200 thereafter per entry. There will be a $200 minimum
seller's commission charged per lot number. We reserve the right to refuse consignments
with unreasonable reserves or motorcycles deemed not suitable
for the auction. The more exposure your entry gets,
the more interest it will generate, so it is best to get your
entry in by February 15th take advantage of the discounted
consignment fee and the additional exposure the on line catalog will
give your motorcycle. The auction facility will be
accepting delivery of pre-registered auction motorcycles
beginning on Tuesday, March 8th and then daily
from 9:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
through Thursday, March 10th.
If you need to drop your bike off
earlier, please contact Glenn on his cell phone at 805-798-1802 to
make arrangements. PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO A SCHEDULE
CHANGE OF THE RACES, THIS YEAR THE PARTS AUCTION IS ON THURSDAY,
MARCH 10TH AND THE MOTORCYCLE AUCTION WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY,
MARCH 11TH.
TIPS FOR SELLING
Consign your motorcycle early so we can advertise it for you.
You can enter your motorcycle on line, or mail us the form along
with the photos and we will put the images on the auction
website for you. Send us up to three photos using a neutral
background—like a white garage door. When you register on line,
give us as much information about your bike as possible, i.e.
does the bike run now, how well, did the bike run when you
parked it years ago, mileage, etc. The more information we
have to post on the website, the more interest your bike will
generate. Bring your bike to the auction facility as
early as possible, as buyers will be inspecting the motorcycles
they want to consider bidding on. Don't forget to leave the key in the bike so
we can start it for the buyers.
SELLERS: CONSIDER
THIS
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. Unreserved
bikes always draw more interest and more bids. If we receive
your consignment before February 1st we will be able to
advertise your bike in the catalog as selling unreserved—attracting more
buyers.
TITLES
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. 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
is a non title state, 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. Bator International Auctions is not
affiliated with either of these companies in any way and by
furnishing this information does not assume any responsibility
whatsoever. We cannot accept motorcycles with altered
serial numbers. A licensed, bonded Florida title agent will
be available to handle title transfers for a reasonable fee, guaranteeing
you the proper paperwork. There are no exceptions to the
above. You may not sell your bike
on an open title. Titles must be in the name of
the current owner.
AUCTION BIKE PICK UP -
SELL YOUR BIKE AT DAYTONA WITHOUT LEAVING HOME
We have made arrangements with a Motorcycle
Transportation Service 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 vehicle is sold. If your motorcycle has a reserve that is
not met, you will be responsible for all shipping charges
incurred to and from the auction. We think the rates are
reasonable—just call our office to make arrangements:
(805) 646-9566. We will sell it for you at the world's best
motorcycle auction and mail your check to you 10 business days after the
sale. We are licensed and bonded and have the best reputation in
the motorcycle industry—call us for details.
AUCTION BUYING
You must register and get a "bidder's number" in order to buy at
the auction sale. You will be required to leave a $300 deposit.

bids. There is a

transfers, cashiers checks, bank checks, personal or company
