5 Things to Do After Buying A Vehicle from An Auction

How to take care of your new-to-you car

Congratulations on buying a car, truck, motorcycle, or any other type of vehicle! Whether it’s your fist car or the latest addition to your fleet, purchasing a vehicle is a big deal. Buying a vehicle from an auction is a great way to save money – you will pay a lot less than you would at a dealership. However, there are a few things that you will want to do before you go for a drive. Used cars can be in great condition, but they still belonged to someone else for a period of time before you bought it. Therefore, it’s important to learn as much as you can about your vehicle, as well as perform any necessary updates for your safety and so that you can be a better car owner!

1. Transfer the Title & Registration

This is any easy process when you buy with us here at Repocast.com! We are required by the State of Michigan to broker all vehicles sold to Michigan residents. We are able to process the title and perform the title transfer between you and the last owner. Read more information about the process here. We can also apply for your plates and registration if you would like us to. If you decide to do it yourself, you will have to work with the Secretary of State Department of Motor Vehicles. This is an extremely important process and should be completed before you even think of doing anything else with your vehicle.

2. Get Insurance

Make sure to insure your new car! If you don’t already have car insurance, check out some of the common providers such as All State or Progressive. You can quickly fill everything out so that you can be confident when you drive. If you already have a provider, make sure to contact them to add your vehicle to your plan. You don’t want to drive a car without insurance, if you get in an accident you’ll regret having to pay out of pocket for repairs.

3. Clean Clean Clean

Even if your car appears spotless, you have to remember that it was someone else’s vehicle. Which means that you should clean it thoroughly – even if it doesn’t look like it needs it. You can decide to have your vehicle professionally cleaned, or you can haul out your own cleaning supplies and

get down to business. Make sure that you use the proper cleaning products for the interior material of your car so that you don’t end up damaging your seats or dashboard. Don’t forget about washing the outside as well! Apply a wax or a sealant for extra protection. Your vehicle will look shiny and new and will be good to go for your first drive!

4. Repairs & General Maintenance

Before you purchased your vehicle you likely noted any repairs that would have to be made. You will want a mechanic to look over your car to catch any internal problems you didn’t see initially, as well as fix the problems you did know about. We would also recommend completing the general maintenance that you would regularly perform on your vehicle. Get the oil changed, assess the tires and potentially change or rotate them, change all your filters and check all your other fluids (you will probably want to replace those as well). There isn’t a surefire way for you to know the care that the past owner gave the vehicle, and you don’t know how long it had been sitting before being sold. You don’t want to drive on bad oil or have to worry about an old filter hurting your engine.

5. Review the Owner’s Manual

Now this might not seem that important, but you need to make sure you know all the basic information about your vehicle so that you can take proper care of it. You should be aware of the correct tire pressure, learn about the recommended maintenance schedule and recognize all the lights on your dashboard. It might sound like something you can do later when you get around to it, but you’ll be regretting your choice when an icon you don’t recognize flashes on during a huge whiteout.

After you’ve checked through these important steps you can take your car out for a drive! Everything is finally sorted out and you are ready to go. And, you can be sure that everything with your car is safe. Make sure to follow all safety laws and get used to your vehicle before heading off on a grand cross-

country trip. You’ll want to get the feel of the vehicle at first as it probably drives differently than your past vehicles. We are so glad that you were able to find the car of your dreams while saving money at the same time! If you have any future questions about buying a vehicle from an auction, please contact us.

How to Hold a Successful Charity Auction

Posted on February 18, 2020December 30, 2019 by Administrator

How to Hold a Successful Charity Auction

Make the most for your cause!

Auctions are a fantastic way for you to raise money for an organization that you are passionate about. They draw in a great crowd of bidders who are ready to give money and have fun at your event. We’ve created this guide so that you can be sure that your auction will be a success!

Decide What Type of Auction

The first thing that you will want to do when preparing for your charity auctions is to determine if you will be having a live or online auction. There are advantages and disadvantages to both types, so it will really be up to you to determine what will work best for your event depending on your time, budget, and organization.

Live Auctions

Most charity auctions are live auctions. Typically, the auction takes place as part of a large event. There will likely be a formal dinner or some other activity that accompanies the auction for some added pizzazz. The main advantage of live auctions is the anticipation and fun surrounding the event. Bidders come prepared to spend money and can get wrapped up in the excitement of the night, donating more than they planned. The buzzing atmosphere and fun competition can sweep people away, giving you a larger final donation number at the end of the night. The disadvantage of live auctions is that they are typically a lot to plan. You will have to have the time and the staff to plan the event, as well as the funds to cover the costs. If you are worried about the added expenses, or don’t have the time to plan a huge event, it might be a better idea to host an online auction.

Online Auctions

Online auctions are a great way to raise money fast for your organization. One of the biggest advantages of online charity auctions is the convenience that they bring both to you and to your bidders. All you have to do is provide photos and descriptions for your items and your auction company will do the rest. There is no huge planning process, no other expenses to budget for, and all you have to do is sit back and watch people bid. Bidders enjoy online charity auctions as it is easy for them to view your items on their own time and then place a bid on whatever they decide what they want to purchase. They will appreciate the opportunity to give fast without having to go out of their way. The main disadvantage to online charity auctions is the lack of urgency and competition. Live auctions pull in a lot of donations when people are swept up in the bidding process, but online auctions have less excitement attached to them. Online auctions are less focused around the organization as a whole and can’t pull on people’s heartstrings as much as a live auction would.

Once you’ve decided what type of auction you will be hosting you can jump right into the planning process!

Hire an Auctioneer

If you’ve decided to go the live auction route the first thing you will want to do is hire a professional auctioneer. While you might want to have a teammate or friend stand up on the auction block to save some money, it’s really in your best interest to hire an auctioneer. Besides the fact that you won’t have to worry about them getting stage fright right before the event, they have so much knowledge and experience to offer up that will help your auction go smoothly. They can give you tips on the planning process, help you attract the right bidders to the event and determine the best order to auction the items off in. During the event they know how to read the room and respond to keep the excitement up, will talk up certain items to get larger bids, encourage friendly competition and even act as a sort of MC for the night. An auctioneer will be able to help you get the highest bids possible out of your donors.

Pick Your Space

When heading into a live auction you want to make sure that you pick a proper location to go with your event. Like we said, many live charity auctions focus around a dinner, which gives you a lot of options. You can rent out a ballroom or banquet hall, or you could have your location play off of your cause. If you are raising money for a new football stadium, host a huge cookout on the current one. If you are raising money for an endangered species, check out the event rooms at your local zoo. Basing your space around your cause will add some extra fun to the night and will keep the organization at the forefront of everyone’s minds when it’s time to start bidding.

Promote Your Auction

This is one of the best things that you can do for your charity auction, regardless if it is live or online! The more people who attend your auction, the more bids that will come in, leading to more competition and a larger donation for your organization! If you are working with a professional auction company, they may have marketing services that you can use to get the word out, but there is a lot that you can do on your own! Take the time to make a fun graphic or invitation that you can post out across all of your social media platforms as well as deliver to potential bidders in person. You can also post your auction catalog with different posts for your spotlight items. Create an event on Facebook and invite everyone following your page. Encourage your employees and donors to share your posts on their own social media pages in order to get your auction in front of even more people. If you have the budget, consider creating some paid social ads that will get the word out even further! Take advantage of your email list and send out a newsletter highlighting the auction to people who already care a lot about your cause and are likely to want to bid! However you decide to promote your charity auction, make sure that the cause is the focus. Your cause is what will pull people in and cause them to participate. Charity auctions are great events that are fun for your donors and will bring in a lot of money for your cause. If you are interested in holding a live or online charity auction with us, contact us today! We would be more than happy to sit down with you to see how we can work with your company. Please contact us if you have any further questions about charity auctions or our auction process!

4 Types of Items You’ll Want to Buy at Auction

Posted on January 28, 2020January 15, 2020 by Administrator

4 Types of Items You’ll Want to Buy at Auction

We Are Here to Help!

Auctions are truly an amazing way to purchase items for a lower cost than you would be able to find elsewhere. You can find almost anything in an auction – from large pieces of construction equipment, furniture, inflatables and modern & antique vehicles! Of course, when participating in an auction, you will want to know what you are buying. It is important to research on any item that you are considering bidding, which is why we provide a great deal of information on each item. The items that we sell often come to us in a wide variety of conditions – some are in perfect order, but others have various issues with them. Some issues are to be expected, but those issues are always in the descriptions and general information of each auction item. Check out four categories of items that you will want to buy through our auctions!

Cars & Vehicles:

This is one the most popular categories of items that we sell. As with anything that you are considering bidding on, you can read all about the auto in its general description. We try to give you as much information possible so that you can make an informed decision when you bid. With any vehicle, there are listed times to inspect the items in person. If you want to see what types of cars and vehicles we sell, you can view some of our auctions here.

Construction Equipment:

Next up on our list of popular items is construction equipment. We sell TONS (both figuratively and literally) of construction equipment in our auctions year-round. Make sure to go through the information given in the general description and get in touch with the auction contact if you have any questions. If an inspection is offered, you can go check everything else out for yourself firsthand! We offer construction equipment on several of our sites. You can view items on Orbitbid.com, Rangerbid.com, and Repocast.com, as well as we have several live auctions through MiedemaAuctioneering.com you can check out as well.

Farm Equipment:

While it has a very different purpose than construction equipment, you should conduct similar research for agricultural equipment when you are considering bidding on an item in an auction. Take advantage of the general descriptions we offer for each piece of equipment as check out items in person during the inspection period to assess the condition of the farm equipment that you are considering before the day of the auction. If they are available, review the maintenance records that will give you information on how the equipment was serviced. Check out farm equipment that might be of interest to your in our upcoming auctions here. For our LIVE auctions for construction equipment, farm equipment and more you can visit our https://www.miedemaauctioneering.com/auction-calendar/ page.

Powersports:
