We are on the Auction Pipeline, a joint website comprised of a group of independent auctions across the country dedicated to dealers.
On the Pipeline, you can view cars not only at Louisiana's 1st Choice but also at other member auctions. View pre-sale catalogs, no sale lists, market reports, and your account information. You can do a quick search for a specific vehicle too.
A simple click will give you access to our simulcast events each week via the Pipeline. Please review our simulcast policies and fees before placing a bid. All green light online purchases are subject to a $75 Post Sale Inspection.
