Joel’s Tractors and Auction, LLC – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
August 26th Live and Online Huge Machinery Consignment Auction
***Please read all terms & conditions before bidding*** YOU MUST PRE-INSPECT PRIOR TO OUR AUCTION, OR CALL Aaron or Joel at (563) 933-4188. If you're unsure of what you are bidding on, DO NOT BID!
LIVE AND ONLINE AUCTION WILL BEGIN AT 9:00 AM!
ON AUCTION DAY, our staff is dedicated to helping and registering bidders who attend in person, so we cannot answer calls or provide item information. Reminder: For onsite auctions, all members of our team are at the auction location and not in the office. For questions, please call us before auction day, Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM CST at 563-933-4188. More information on technical support or registration assistance on auction day, see registration below.
Joel’s Tractors and Auction, LLC recommends that Bidders preview equipment prior to bidding. You may contact us prior to the Auction to speak with a representative. Items are located at 33587 Highway 13, Strawberry Point, Iowa 52076. We put forth every effort to describe and represent equipment accurately and to the best of our ability. Please call ahead as soon as possible, as the days are remarkably busy right before the sale and there may not be enough time to answer all questions received. Also listen to the auctioneer’s description live on sale day. Any errors made in picturing or describing items does not negate the Buyer’s responsibility to pay their invoices. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to make sure each item meets his/her needs before placing any bids.
How We Bid for You When You’re Not Here — Your Max Is Not Our Starting Point:
Absentee Bidding: Absentee bidding allows a buyer to submit the maximum amount they are willing to spend on an item if they are unable to bid live. Absentee bids are not automatically run up to the maximum amount submitted. Just like a live auction, we don’t jump straight to your top number—we bid only as needed to secure the item. We are an honest auction company that values our integrity and long-standing relationships with our customers, and absentee bids are handled fairly and competitively in accordance with these principles. An absentee bid works the same way as having a number in your head while attending a live auction; no one knows that number except the bidder. The same applies to absentee bids: the maximum bid amount is known only by the staff member who takes the bid and the auctioneer and clerks in the auction truck so they can bid competitively on the buyer’s behalf in their absence. Absentee bidders must call the office PRIOR to Auction Day to leave an absentee bid by contacting us at (563) 933-4188, and must provide the auction name, lot number or stock number, item name, maximum bid amount, first and last name, address, phone number, email address (for invoicing and tax-exempt documentation, if applicable), and tax-exempt status (if applicable). Buyers may change, increase, or modify their absentee bid at any time up to 4:00 PM (CST) the day before the auction. Absentee bids must be submitted before the day of the sale and cannot be changed, increased, or modified on auction day for any reason, including if the current online bid exceeds the bidder’s submitted maximum. We will make every effort to contact winning absentee bidders the following business day. At this time, we do not participate in real-time phone bidding, as we already offer multiple platforms and methods for bidding.
Special Note: Please understand that we are transitioning to new auction software platforms, and some processes may take longer than normal. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this period as we work together respectfully to ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
Registration:
Bidders must register and be approved by Joel’s Tractors and Auction, LLC and/or EquipmentFacts before bidding at the auction.

You may also have your bank or lender email the letter to info@everitttractors.com. Please have the letter available at the time of payment or submit it several days prior to the auction.

All live purchases must be paid for the day of the sale – NO EXCEPTIONS! Detailed information is listed below under Live/In Person Payments. Failure to follow these terms will result in loss of bidding privileges and may lead to further action.
Invoices:
Invoices will be issued after the completion of the auction and once all bidding data has been finalized.
Bidders who purchase items through EquipmentFacts will initially receive an automated email notification from EquipmentFacts for each item on which they are the highest bidder. These notifications are not official invoices, and EquipmentFacts will no longer issue invoices.
Once all auction data has been transferred to Joel’s Tractors & Auction, LLC, official invoices will be generated and sent to the email address on file. All invoices will be sent as a PDF attachment from info@everitttractors.com. In certain circumstances, this process will take up to 2–3 business days.
Joel’s Tractors & Auction, LLC will make its best effort to email invoices to buyers by mid-morning on Saturday, August 29th to the email address used at registration.
Buyers are responsible for ensuring their contact information is accurate and for monitoring their email (including spam/junk folders) for invoice delivery. Failure to receive an invoice, whether due to an incorrect email address, email delivery issues, or any other reason, does not relieve the buyer of responsibility for payment.
If you do not receive an emailed invoice and believe you have successfully purchased one or more items, you are responsible for contacting our office at (563) 933-4188. For all invoice inquiries, please have your bidder name and bidder number available.
Joel’s Tractors & Auction, LLC acknowledges that errors may occur in invoices and reserves the right to review, correct, and modify any invoice in the event of errors, omissions, or necessary adjustments. In such cases, the corrected invoice and/or updated payment instructions issued by Joel’s Tractors & Auction, LLC shall take precedence over any prior invoice or instructions.
Buyer’s Premium: To enable bidders to participate in our auctions using the internet through Joel’s Tractors and Auction, LLC and/or EquipmentFacts platform without the travel expense and lost time, buyers will pay an additional Buyer’s Premium fee equal to 5% of the purchase price with a $15 minimum or $1500 cap per item. There is not a fee to register, watch, listen, or to bid. These fees apply only to internet buyers.
Sales Tax: A 6% state sales tax and 1% local option sales tax (total of 7%) applies on all lawn and garden items, construction equipment, and non-farm applicable items.
