COLLUSION (BID-RIGGING) IN AN AUCTION IS A CRIME

Collusion between bidders in a DLBA auction, which is also known as “bid-rigging,” is a type of fraud and a violation of Federal antitrust laws. The DLBA takes the integrity of its auctions very seriously and bid-rigging is unfair to competing bidders and, ultimately, to the people of the City of Detroit. If the DLBA finds evidence of collusion in an auction, it reserves the right and will not hesitate to, as appropriate, reject specific bids, cancel an entire auction (in each case keeping the deposits or downpayments of the colluding parties), and/or pursue criminal prosecution of the parties involved to the fullest extent of the law.


By clicking proceed, you agree to a hold being placed on your credit card. The hold amount will be 10% of your maximum proxy bid, not to exceed $5,000.00. The winning bidder's credit card will be charged the hold amount and is non-refundable. The balance of the winning bid will be due at closing. If you are not the winning bidder, please allow 5-7 business days for the hold amount to be released.
