A systematic inspection approach protects you from valuation errors that catalog descriptions alone can't prevent.

How To Approach This

  1. Schedule your inspection visit within the offered window, allowing genuine time to assess the material rather than a rushed walkthrough.
  2. Assess material composition, approximate quantity, and condition directly, comparing what you observe against the auction catalog's stated description.
  3. Note logistics factors relevant to lifting and transport — site access, loading equipment needs, distance from your intended destination.
  4. Document your findings (photos, notes) so you can reference them accurately when finalizing your bid strategy rather than relying on memory afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is inspection worth it for lower-value lots?

It depends on the lot's value relative to your time cost, but for anything beyond trivial value, it generally pays for itself in better-informed bidding.

What should I prioritize checking?

Material composition and quantity accuracy first, then practical logistics factors like site access.
