Information

At the BAS World Auction, you can find a wide range of truck tractors, trucks, trailers, and vans from all over Europe. This gives you the chance to buy directly from a wide international selection. Machinery will also be added soon.

Bidding is easy and transparent. Each bid must be higher than the current highest bid. You can see at any time whether the reserve price has been reached. When the auction closes, the highest bidder wins if the reserve price has been met, guaranteeing you fair deals without hidden surprises.

A new auction runs every week for seven days, from Thursday to Wednesday at 11:00 AM. With dozens of vehicles closing every Wednesday, there is always fresh stock and new opportunities for your business.

No, this is not possible at the moment. We are continually improving the BAS World Auction and are exploring the possibilities of offering previews of upcoming vehicles.

No, creating an account is free. You only pay if you win a lot: €300 plus 4% of the winning bid, on top of your bid amount.

Registration is free and fast. After signing up, our team will quickly check your VAT details to ensure that only verified businesses can bid. Once approved, your account becomes active, and you can start bidding with confidence.

Until your VAT and company verification is complete, your account remains in 'pending' status. This allows you to explore all offers and follow bids while we ensure that only legitimate buyers can place bids. Once your account is approved, you can participate.

If the reserve price is not met, the vehicle is not sold, even if you had the highest bid. This protects both buyers and sellers, ensuring every transaction is fair and market-driven.

Every bid is binding, which means you are always taken seriously as a buyer. Cancelling after winning leads to a temporary block and a deblocking fee of €600. This ensures a professional auction environment where real buyers win real deals.

Yes, you can update your company name in the 'Profile' section of 'My Account'. However, your VAT number cannot be changed after your account is created.

Yes. Use the 'Set max bid' button to enter your maximum bid. The system will automatically increase your bid until the maximum is reached. If more than one bidder has set a maximum bid on the same lot and your limit is immediately reached, you will receive an email notification.

Notifications are sent via email and WhatsApp. These include being outbid, winning a lot, or when new auctions go live (if you have signed up for them). You can manage your preferences in the 'Profile' section of 'My Account'.

You only pay if you win: €300 + 4% of the bid price per lot. If you don't win, you don't pay anything. This gives you the freedom to explore and bid without risk.

Payment must be completed within 24 hours of receiving your invoice. This ensures a smooth and efficient process.

Bids are shown excluding VAT. The BAS World Auction is a business-to-business platform, so consumer taxes do not apply.

VAT is not applicable to vehicles exported outside the Netherlands or the EU.

You can pay by credit card or via bank transfer. For vehicles located in Veghel or another BAS World Depot, cash payment is also possible upon collection.

Every vehicle comes with a technical report stating what has been tested. If something is not in the technical report, you cannot assume the part works. This transparency gives you a clear picture before placing a bid, allowing you to buy with confidence.

If the condition of the vehicle deviates from the technical report, you can submit a claim within 24 hours (or before 50 km have been driven). This provides peace of mind and keeps the process fair and efficient. Note: wear and tear parts are excluded; there is a deductible (franchise) of €400 for vans and €1200 for trucks, trailers, and truck tractors.

No, physical inspection is not possible. Every vehicle includes a technical report describing its condition.

If available, maintenance history and service data can be found in the 'Documents' section of the lot.

Yes. Use the 'Questions?' button on the vehicle page to request additional information like photos or videos. Our experts will respond as quickly and accurately as possible, although not every request can be fulfilled.

Vehicles stored at BAS World in Veghel can be picked up directly. For vehicles located elsewhere, transport via BAS World is mandatory. This guarantees safe, reliable global delivery and removes the hassle of arranging logistics yourself. Transport prices can be requested via email or WhatsApp from your auction contact person.

For vehicles in Veghel or another BAS World Depot, payment must be completed within 3 days. Collection must be arranged within 5 days (cash payments can be made upon collection).

Yes. If BAS World arranges your transport, document handling and customs clearance are included. If you collect a vehicle yourself from Veghel or a BAS World Depot, you are responsible for the transport and all associated documents.

You are allowed to collect vehicles yourself from Veghel or another depot. However, if you want to use a transport company, it must be arranged via BAS World. External transport companies are not permitted.
