How To Buy
Buying at auction is straightforward, but preparation matters. Understanding the process, deadlines, and responsibilities ahead of time helps ensure a smooth experience from registration through removal.
This page outlines the typical steps involved in buying through MEGA Auctions.
Step 1: Find An Auction
Browse current and upcoming auctions to find assets you're interested in. Each auction listing includes:
- Asset descriptions and photographs
- Auction format (online, on-site, or hybrid)
- Bidding dates and closing times
- Location and removal details
Review the listing carefully before proceeding.
Step 2: Register To Bid
Registration requirements are listed on each auction page. Buyers may need to:
- Create an online bidding account
- Provide valid identification
- Submit a refundable deposit, depending on the sale
Registration must be completed before bidding begins.
Step 3: Review Terms & Inspection Opportunities
Before bidding, buyers should:
- Review the Auction Sales Terms
- Understand payment and removal requirements
- Attend any scheduled inspections or previews, if available
All items are sold as-is, where-is, and buyers are responsible for assessing condition and suitability.

Step 5: Winning The Auction

Failure to pay on time may result in forfeiture of deposit or cancellation of the sale.
Step 7: Removal & Pickup
Buyers are responsible for:
- Coordinating removal within the allowed timeframe
- Providing appropriate labor, tools, and equipment
- Complying with site access and safety rules
All purchased items must be removed in full unless otherwise approved in writing.

Once payment and removal are complete, the transaction is considered closed.
Buyers should retain copies of receipts and correspondence for their records.
