About BigIron Auctions
BigIron is a Nebraska-based online auction company that grew out of the farm equipment trade. It sells for farmers, dealers, contractors and public bodies across the U.S. and Canada. It also runs a fixed-price exchange and real estate and livestock sales.
Most sales are weekly online auctions with no reserve and a staggered soft close. A BigIron territory manager lists each item at the seller's site, and the item stays there until pickup. Some sales carry special terms, which can change the deposit, premium or storage rate.

What it costs
BigIron's terms and help pages list these buyer charges. The bigiron.com auction and fee pages did not load for reading, so the premium is shown as it applies on each sale.
| What | Cost |
|---|---|
| Buyer premium | Set per sale when it applies and shown on the lot and sale terms before you bid |
| Title processing fee | $25 per titled item |
| Credit card fee | 3% on invoices up to $5,000 (international cards 5%) |
| ACH | Accepted up to $15,000 |
| International wire or ACH | $50 processing fee |
| Storage after the removal deadline | $25 per day, paid to whoever holds the item |
| Nonpayment | Shortfall on resale plus 25% of the resale price |

A worked example: a non-titled implement that sells for $4,000 and is paid by card costs $4,120 with the 3% card fee, plus any buyer premium posted for that sale and sales tax.
