Auction Type: Auctions we conduct are considered auctions with reserves. The vehicles or merchandise offered for sale are subject to approval to award to the highest bidder. The phrase, “SOLD, ON A CALL”, indicates the reserve has not been met and approval must be sought. In a case of this type, The Registered Buyer’s offer must remain in place until the conclusion of the day following that day’s sale, a total of 2 business days, at which time the Registered Buyer will be released from their offer. Subsequent to that 2 business day period the Registered Buyer shall have the option to complete the purchase if their offer is approved. TRA reserves the sole and absolute right to withdraw, postpone or cancel a vehicle from sale at any time. In such instance, TRA will have no obligation to a Registered Buyer as a result of the action. The Registered Buyer or their approved bidders may not contact insurance companies, sellers or previous owners of vehicles. Any violation of this policy will result in the loss of bidding privileges, with no refund of application or registration fees.
