Who can bid?
What is this?
Verified Ride dealers whose dealership is approved for RideAuction buying, by staff who have bidding authority.
How does it work?
- Your dealership needs RideAuction buying approval.
- You personally need bidding authority for your dealership.
- Sellers cannot bid on their own units.
- Premium lots can be bid on only by dealers approved for RideAuction buying.
What do I need to do?
- Sign in with your Ride dealer account.
- If the lot page says “Verification required to bid”, see Bidding access.
What happens next?
Once approved, the bidding panel on each open lot lets you bid.
