   PHONE BIDDING: Would you prefer to bid over the phone? It is available as part of your bidder registration package. Here's how the process works. If you intend to bid by phone, please notify an auction team member in advance either via e-mail, in person or by phone at 717-960-6400. On the Wednesday of auction week, someone will contact you to learn more about the vehicle(s) you may be interested in. In turn, we will secure a reliable phone number for you AND offer an estimated time and day that your desired car(s) will cross the auction block. Just before your consignment comes to the block, you will receive a phone call. You must be available and answer the call. From there, it'll be just like you're at the auction in person.
   
   Please note, the ability to bid online or by phone must still be approved by Carlisle Auctions. Call Carlisle Auctions at 717-960-6400 to learn more today.
