FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU PARTICIPATE IN A BUS AUCTION

Q. HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN AN AUCTION?
A. You can pre-register on the Internet prior to the auction or come to the office on the day of the auction. Please use the bus buyer pre-registration form located at our website (bus auction registration form link). On the day of the auction, go to the Internet bus registration window to deposit your funds and show your ID. You may also register and get your assigned bidder number between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM sale day. You need to show two (2) forms of ID to register. Foreign buyers must present their driver’s license and passport or US visa. Similarly, foreign residents in the US must present their driver’s license and green card. Titles are processed on sale day. Whatever name you want on your title is how you should register, whether it is an individual’s or a company name.

Q WHAT ARE THE AUCTION HOURS?
A. Both bus and car auctions start promptly at 9:30 AM. The auctions end whenever the last vehicle is sold. As soon as you are done purchasing, please come to the office to check out.

Q. HOW DO I PAY FOR MY BUS?
A. There are only four (4) ways to pay for the bus you wish to buy:
1. Pay cash in U.S. dollars. You must deposit your funds when registering. You must count your money before getting in line to register. If you do not buy a bus, we will return your deposit in full that day.

2. Cashier checks drawn on a US. bank. You may bring the cashier check on the day of the auction. Make your checks payable to 422 Sales. If you do not buy a bus, we will hand the cashier check(s) back to you. If you purchase one (1) or more buses, we will write a check to you for the difference.

3. Wire transfer. Call us at (724) 368–8885 at least seven (7) days prior to the auction so we can explain to you how to transfer your money. If you do not buy a bus, we will issue a check for the available funds wired, or you may choose to have the funds wired back to you. If you purchase one or more buses, we will write a check to you for the difference.

4. An irrevocable bank letter of guarantee from a US bank may be used with business or personal checks. Please use the sample of irrevocable bank letter of guarantee located on our website (bank letter link). Have your bank fax us a copy to 724-368-8774 at least three (3) days prior to the auction. Bring the original with you sale day. The numbers of your checking account must match the bank letter. If you did not buy a bus, we will return the check to you. If you purchase one or more buses, we will write your check for the amount purchased.

Q. CAN I PAY WITH TRAVELERS CHECKS, CREDIT CARDS, OR PERSONAL CHECKS?
A. 422 Sales does not accept traveler’s checks, credit cards, or personal checks that are not accompanied by an irrevocable bank letter of guarantee from a US bank.

Q. WHAT ADDITIONAL CHARGES DO I HAVE TO PAY WHEN BUYING A BUS?
A. The fees and expenses in addition to the bid price are:

1. Buyer’s fee: $100 plus 6% of the bid price per unit.

2. Temporary plates $30. You may bring your own plates. Moreover, you need to bring valid commercial insurance for your purchased bus. The insurance must be in the name of the buyer and match the name on the title.

Q. WHEN CAN I REMOVE MY BUS?
A. You will get the keys after you pay for your bus. You have 30 days, including the auction day, to remove your bus from our auction lot in Pittsburgh PA. The storage during those 30 days is free of charge. However, there will be an additional charge of $35/Day/Unit (storage charges) after the 30 days. Please remove your bus as soon as you can.
