Dealer FAQs

How does Rawhide sell vehicles and other donated items?

The majority of vehicles are sold at wholesale dealer-only auction venues throughout the state of Wisconsin.

In addition, boats, collector cars, recreational vehicles, travel trailers, pop-up campers, motorcycles, and other collectible and miscellaneous items are offered for sale on eBay to the general public. Visit Rawhide's eBay Store.

Who can purchase items at the dealer-only auctions?

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. Email Rawhide Sales or call toll-free 1-800-729-4433 to learn more.

For more information on how to obtain a license, contact the Wisconsin DOT Dealer & Motor Vehicle Businesses or call 1-608-266-1425.

How can I get info on auction dates and vehicles within them?

A listing of auction dates and current vehicle listings can be viewed in the Auction Lists & Locations section. Lists are generally posted a few days prior to the sale.

What type of vehicles does Rawhide sell?

Rawhide offers a variety of product lines to meet your needs including Rawhide Certified and repairable vehicles (field sale). The majority of vehicles at our auctions are 1992-2000 models but we do have a broad selection of vehicles ranging from classic collector cars to late models.

Our Sales team would be happy to assist you if you are looking for a specific vehicle. Email Rawhide Sales or call toll-free 1-800-729-4433.

What is a "Rawhide Certified" vehicle?
