CLOSE OF RESERVE AUCTION
This reserve auction shall end at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, September 30th, 2026; provided, however, that this reserve auction will close using an extended bidding format. This feature allows the auction to function like a live auction by extending the time for (3) minutes (or by such other time as Bid-2-Buy determines in its sole discretion) on any item that has active bidding within the last three minutes of that item closing. It also allows customers with slower computer connections a fair opportunity to bid by eliminating the bidders that use computer sniping software to place bids within the last second of an auction out bidding you.

SALES TAX
8.125% MN Sales Tax will be charged unless you have a MN sales tax or Agricultural exempt form (ST3) on file with us. 

For Titled or Registered Items Bid-2-Buy will be collecting doc fee, 6.875% sales tax and all fees associated with title transfer.

• If the item price is $1,500 or more, there is a $150 doc fee 
• If the item price is under $1500, the doc fee will be 10% of the item price
• If you are an out-of-state resident, there is a $50 doc fee, and the buyer will complete the title transfer in their home state 
• 6.875% sales tax and all fees associated with title or registration transfer

Any questions on title or registered items, call Jessica 763-274-0330
