Preparation is critical to maximizing your golf cart auction experience. Here are four essential steps before attending a golf cart auction:

1. Check Your Debit Card's Daily Spending Limit

Debit cards are the best way to pay for your purchase at auction. Before you head to the golf cart auction, it's crucial to understand your debit card's daily spending limit to ensure you can complete your transactions without any hitches.

Daily Debit Card Limits

To safeguard your account, many card issuers apply maximum spending limits on debit card transactions by default. We run a huge variety of golf carts, from vintage 1980s models to late-model units. Historically, winning bids have ranged anywhere from $600 to $9,000. You want to ensure your daily limit is high enough for your purchases.

Checking Your Limit

There are several ways to check your daily spending limit:

• Mobile Apps: Banks like Wells Fargo allow you to manage limits through their mobile banking apps.
• Customer Service: Call your bank’s customer care center or ask a teller about your limit.
• Account Paperwork: Refer to the paperwork received when you opened your account, as the daily limit is usually mentioned there.

2. Complete a Pre-Approval If You Intend to Finance a Vehicle

If you plan to finance your golf cart auction purchase, complete a pre-approval using this link and provide us with your approval number at event registration. This can save you time and hassle on the day of the event.

3. Arrange for Transportation

Once you’ve secured your purchase at the golf cart auction, you must transport your golf cart. Here are some key considerations:

• Bring Your Trailer: If you have a trailer, ensure it’s ready for use. Verify it meets the necessary size and weight requirements for the cart you plan to buy.
• Use Our Delivery Services: We offer local delivery for an additional fee, which can be arranged with the cashier.
•  Must Be Out By 5 PM!: If you have not scheduled delivery with us or picked up your vehicle using private transportation by 5 PM on the event day, we will transport your cart to one of our facilities, and a $30/day storage fee will be charged.

4. Bring a Copy of Your Resale Certificate (if applicable)

If you plan to purchase golf carts for resale, bringing a copy of your resale certificate is essential. Ensure your certificate is up-to-date and valid for the merchandise you intend to buy.

These four steps will prepare you for a successful and efficient golf cart auction experience. Preparation ensures a smooth process and helps you focus on finding the best deals and making informed purchasing decisions. We look forward to seeing you at the golf cart auction.
