  • Q: Who can purchase items at the dealer-only auctions?
    A: 
    You must hold a current dealer or business resale license for the intended product type(s) purchased, and/or show a valid tax exempt number (TIN) for your business. Due to Wisconsin auction license regulations, salvage businesses are unable to purchase motor vehicles at our Rawhide location auctions using their salvage dealer number. However, salvage can be purchased using a dealer license.

    Interested salvage businesses can also participate in an auction floor bid at the Rawhide location. Contact Sales at sales@rawhide.org or call toll-free1-800-729-4433 x 2618 to learn more.

    For more information on how to obtain a license, contact the Wisconsin DOT Dealer & Motor Vehicle Businesses or call (608) 266-1425.
  • Q: What type of vehicles does Rawhide sell?
