Next Steps
For any questions regarding how to determine a bid amount, please contact the Listing Broker.
Once the Listing Broker begins the closing process, he will contact each registered bidder to advise them of the current high bid. At that time, the bidder has the option to raise their bid higher or drop out of the bidding process.
After the highest bidder is informed that he/she won the bidding, payment (plus fees) are required within 24 hours, by Wire Transfer or Certified BankCheck. When we receive the total payment, a Bill of Sale will be sent to winning bidder to be signed and returned to us.
The proper ownership documents will be processed and mailed after we have been informed that the vessel has been picked up or arrangements have been made to store the vessel at the facility longer.
