Joel’s Tractors and Auction, LLC – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
June 24, 2026 Torson Retirement Online Only: Tractors, Implements, Guns, and More
***Please read all terms & conditions before bidding*** YOU MUST PRE-INSPECT PRIOR TO OUR AUCTION, OR CALL Aaron or Joel at (563) 933-4188. If you're unsure of what you are bidding on, DO NOT BID!
LIVE AND ONLINE AUCTION WILL BEGIN AT 4:00 PM!
ON AUCTION DAY, our staff is dedicated to helping and registering bidders who attend in person, so we cannot answer calls or provide item information. Reminder: For onsite auctions, all members of our team are at the auction location and not in the office. For questions, please call us before auction day, Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM CST at 563-933-4188. More information on technical support or registration assistance, see registration below.
Joel’s Tractors and Auction, LLC recommends that Bidders preview equipment prior to bidding. You may contact us prior to the Auction to speak with a representative. Items are located at 33587 Highway 13, Strawberry Point, Iowa 52076 OR at a specified OFF-SITE location. Know where the item is located and be sure that both parties have the appropriate means available to load items at their location. Buyers should contact the OFF-SITE Seller directly with any questions regarding OFF-SITE items, inspection availability, loading assistance, or pickup arrangements. We put forth every effort to describe and represent equipment accurately and to the best of our ability. Please call ahead as soon as possible, as the days are remarkably busy right before the sale and there may not be enough time to answer all questions received. Also listen to the auctioneer’s description live on sale day. Any errors made in picturing or describing items does not negate the Buyer’s responsibility to pay their invoices. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to make sure each item meets his/her needs before placing any bids.
How We Bid for You When You’re Not Here — Your Max Is Not Our Starting Point:
Absentee Bidding: Absentee bidding allows a buyer to submit the maximum amount they are willing to spend on an item if they are unable to bid live. Absentee bids are not automatically run up to the maximum amount submitted. Just like a live auction, we don’t jump straight to your top number—we bid only as needed to secure the item. We are an honest auction company that values our integrity and long-standing relationships with our customers, and absentee bids are handled fairly and competitively in accordance with these principles. An absentee bid works the same way as having a number in your head while attending a live auction; no one knows that number except the bidder. The same applies to absentee bids: the maximum bid amount is known only by the staff member who takes the bid and the auctioneer and clerks in the auction truck so they can bid competitively on the buyer’s behalf in their absence. Absentee bidders must call the office PRIOR to Auction Day to leave an absentee bid by contacting us at (563) 933-4188, and must provide the auction name, lot number or stock number, item name, maximum bid amount, first and last name, address, phone number, email address (for invoicing and tax-exempt documentation, if applicable), and tax-exempt status (if applicable). Buyers may change, increase, or modify their absentee bid at any time up to 4:00 PM (CST) the day before the auction. Absentee bids must be submitted before the day of the sale and cannot be changed, increased, or modified on auction day for any reason, including if the current online bid exceeds the bidder’s submitted maximum. We will make every effort to contact winning absentee bidders the following business day. At this time, we do not participate in real-time phone bidding, as we already offer multiple platforms and methods for bidding.
Special Note: Please understand that we are transitioning to new auction software platforms, and some processes may take longer than normal. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this period as we work together respectfully to ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
