What Buyers Say

I always love coming here, not only because of the great deals but also because the people here really understand the art of service. Literally everyone here treats me like an old friend and they always go out of their way to tend to my every need with grace and kindness. Today I really want to single out a particular lady named Amber. She works in the warehouse and interacting with her is always a real joy because she is simply one of the nicest persons you will ever meet. She always gives me her full attention and truly goes above and beyond to make sure that I am being taken care of well as possible. Amber is a great example of the goodness that humanity is capable of, and she deserves to be recognized and honored. Thank you Amber, for always shining a bright light into my day, it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

James

We love Musick Auction! We are probably there nearly weekly and have purchased several vehicles and more home goods than I can remember. Richard helped us last week load a large piece of furniture into our vehicle. Laura always greets us in the warehouse and chats for a few minutes, treats us like family. Michelle has been my favorite for years! I was so happy when she moved from the warehouse to the front desk. I am always happy to see her, she is personable and so helpful! The staff here are hands down amazing. They have all gone above and beyond to help us. We’ve even consigned items, including a vehicle, and the process was flawless. We appreciate all of them so much!

Buyer FAQs

New to buying at auction? Here are the questions first-time buyers ask most. For the full list, see our FAQs page.

Is it free to register and bid?

Yes. Registration is free and only requires a government-issued ID. You can browse, bid, and set watchlist alerts at no cost.

Do I need to live in Idaho to bid?

No. Anyone can create an account and bid. Pickup happens at our Nampa or Meridian locations unless shipping is available for that item.

What is a buyer's premium?

A buyer’s premium is a standard fee added to the winning bid and listed on every item page. It covers processing and platform costs.

How does maximum (proxy) bidding work?

Set the most you are willing to pay, and the system bids for you only when someone bids against you, and only by the minimum increment, up to your limit.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash in person, debit cards, and credit cards.

What happens after I win an item?

You have 3 business days to pay and pick up. A Tuesday auction, for example, requires pickup by Friday at 6 PM. Unclaimed items may incur storage fees.

Can I finance a vehicle or trailer?

Yes. Musick Auction partners with Capital Auto Loan for fast pre-approvals that cover the full purchase price including fees and taxes. All credit types are welcome.

Can I return an item after I win?

All sales are final, so preview in person or review the photos and description closely before you place a bid.
