How Live Auctions Work

Welcome to Stephen Wade’s Auction powered by Rides4Sale.com. Working together, Stephen Wade is offering live auctions for select vehicles.  

  1. Register and Browse
    • Create an account
    • Browse through our available vehicles, listed with  descriptions and photos.
  2. Place Your Bid
    • Select the vehicle you’re interested in and enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay.
    • The system will automatically place bids on your behalf in the smallest possible increments until your maximum bid is reached.
    • You’ll be asked to enter your credit card to make a bid. Your credit card will be pre-authorized to ensure funds are available to cover the transaction fee if you have a winning bid.
  3. Automatic Bidding
    • Our system bids for you, ensuring you remain the highest bidder until your max bid is hit or the auction ends.
    • If another bidder surpasses your maximum bid, you will be notified, and you can choose to enter a higher maximum bid if desired.
    • If you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction AND the reserve price has been met, you win the auction.
    • A transaction fee will be charged to your pre-authorized credit card if your bid is the winning bid.
    • We will contact you with payment instructions and next steps to finalize your purchase and arrange for vehicle pickup or delivery.
