Auction FAQs

Our partner, cuAuctions uses progressive bidding. With progressive bidding, the highest bid amount is public knowledge, and you can increase your bid in response to other bidders. You also have the option to use proxy bidding. This means you can enter the highest amount you're willing to bid. If another bidder enters an amount higher than your current bid, your bid will gradually be increased up to the maximum that you set. You will also be alerted via email when you've been outbid so you can increase your bid amount.

The auction ends at the stated Auction Close time, unless active bids are still coming. The auction will automatically extend in 15-minute increments as long as active bidding is taking place.

The highest bidder at the end of an auction is obliged to purchase the vehicle in accordance to the auction payment terms.

How is this different than eBay® or Yahoo® Auctions?

Vehicles on our Vehicle Auctions pages are owned by Rogue Federal Credit Union. That means you can trust us to make full disclosure about the vehicle you buy, and you can be confident that we will work with you to make the transaction smooth. And unlike eBayMotors® and Yahoo! Autos®, you'll never encounter a dealer on our pages. With Vehicle Auctions you can buy without the usual dealership mark-up, and avoid the usual dealership hassles. You'll be working directly with the Rogue Federal.

Why do I have to register to bid?

Registering to bid or sell is free. There's no obligation. Rogue Federal requires some information from you in order to finalize a vehicle transaction, should your bid win. The registration process captures that information. Once you've registered it takes a few moments to create your account and update our database with your information. The delay is usually less than five minutes. To complete your registration, simply click the Activate link in the confirmation email you receive; this will open your account. Once you've reached this point, you're ready to bid.

What happens to my personal information?
