Auction and Swap Meet Informatio

AUCTION SELLING

There are two ways to sell your motorcycle: unreserved or reserved. An unreserved motorcycle sells to the highest bidder. You have a refundable consignment fee of $150, additionally, a sliding scale (see scale on Consignment Registration page) based on the sale price of the bike is charged. (Note: The minimum seller's commission fee per entry 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). The consignment fee for an unreserved entry is refunded after the sale of the motorcycle. On a reserve 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). You have a non-refundable consignment fee per entry of $150 if received by May 10th, and $200 per entry thereafter. Additionally, a sliding scale commission of the selling price is charged (see scale on Consignment Registration page). The minimum seller's commission charged per lot is $200. We reserve the right to refuse consignments with unreasonable reserves or motorcycles deemed not suitable for the auction. Our auction catalog of entries will be mailing out on May 14th, and the more exposure your entry gets, the more interest it will generate, so it is best to get your entry in by May 9th to take advantage of the discounted reserve consignment fee and the additional exposure the catalog will give your motorcycle. The auction facility will be accepting delivery of pre-registered auction motorcycles on Thursday, June 3rd and Friday, June 4th from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Auction preview begins on Friday at 9:00 a.m., so it is best to have your bike in place on Thursday if possible. If you do not pre-register your motorcycle, bikes will be accepted at the auction facility on Friday until noon on a first come, first serve basis. Please be aware that space is limited and we cannot guarantee you a lot number if you are not pre-registered.

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 at our Daytona auction in March of this year was over 85%. 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 May 10th 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 CA title agent will be available to handle title transfers for a reasonable fee, guaranteeing you the proper paperwork.

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.
