Individuals must be at least 18 years of age to register. All users are required to have an active credit card and signed bidding agreement on file prior to placing bids.

Online auctions provide users access to millions of items for sale at the tip of their fingers. Pictures, detailed descriptions, and other item specific information are listed in the online auctions to make purchasing items online simple and enjoyable. Items sold via online auction are processed through an online bidding system. RecycledPowerSports.com uses a proxy bidding system, which allows users to place a maximum bid amount on an item. The system then automatically re-bids (up to the maximum) only when you are out bid. Proxy bid amounts are kept confidential. RecycledPowerSports.com also offers “Buy Out” and/or “Make Offer” options for many items. This means that the item can be purchased for a set price at any point during the auctions duration. Another feature implemented in our auctions is the anti-sniping auto-extension. This prevents a bidder from placing a high bid at the last second by extending the auction if there is any last minute bidding activity. The auto-extension period is one minute; each bid received from that point on resets the extension timer and adds an additional minute to the auction’s end. The auction will close once the extension period expires, which means the minute passes with additional bids placed.

At RecycledPowerSports.com, we want you to be satisfied with your purchase; therefore we strive to portray any and all damage to our fullest capability. Damage will not only be listed in the item’s description, it will also be pictured. Detailed pictures of any damage will be shown in the bottom right portion of the auction photos.

Placing a bid on an item you are interested in is easy. When viewing the item details page, you will have two areas from where you can place your bid, one next to the item details and a second at the bottom of the page. To place your bid simply enter the amount you wish to bid ex. 50.00. Please note no currency symbols are required. The bid will be placed in the auction currency. Once done you will be asked to review your bid and you will also be able to view vital item details such as the shipping conditions before confirming your bid. To submit your bid simply press the "Place Bid" button. If your bid is high enough to take the lead in the auction a confirmation message will be displayed to you, however if your bid has not taken the lead be it due to a higher proxy bid or not meeting the reserve price you will be invited to make a further bid. You can also place a proxy bid, proxy bidding allows you to place your "High Bid." At all times you will only pay the lowest required bid should you win the auction. For example, if the current bid on an auction is 500.00 you can place a proxy bid of 2,000. Should you remain the only bidder you will only pay 500.00. However should the item receive other bids the site will automatically re-bid for you (up to 2,000 in this scenario) to ensure you remain in the lead. Some items will have reserve amounts assigned to the auction. If a proxy bid is placed below the reserve, the entire bid amount will be shown as the current bid.

Auction – The act or process of selling items through a bidding process. Items are sold to the highest bidder.

Reserve - The minimum amount that an item will be sold for. If an item’s auction does not reach it’s reserve amount, the item will not be sold.

Buy Out – An item listed with the “Buy Out” option means that the item can be purchased at any time for the price listed. This allows users to purchase items they are interested in without waiting for the auction to end.

Make Offer – This feature allows users to submit an amount as an offer before item has received any bids. The seller then decides whether or not to accept the offer. If offer is accepted, the user wins that item for their offer amount.

Private Bidders – private bidders are members who are not bidding under a business or dealer license.

Title – This is the form of paperwork that comes with most items sold. There are several classifications of titles, such as clean/good, salvage, or junk.

Salvage – An item that has endured some form damaged and/or been classified as unusable in its current state. Salvage items can only be brought out of salvage once rebuilt and properly inspected. Salvage regulations differ from state to state.

Bill of Sale – A bill of sale invoice is provided with every purchase in addition to title, registration, or any other paperwork. This gives the buyer proof that they purchased their item from RecycledPowerSports.com. Some items may be sold only on a bill of sale, which means that they will not come with any other paperwork, such as title or registration. This will be clearly stated in the auction details.
