Our online auctions are a simple, transparent way to buy a special vehicle at the right price. Here is everything you need to know before you place your first bid.
1. Create your free bidder account
Click Log in to bid on any auction. Enter your email address and we'll send you a 6-digit code — no password to remember. Then add your name and phone number so we can reach you if you win.
2. Check the auction
Every auction shows the time left, the current bid, the number of bids and whether the reserve has been met. Read the description, look at all the photos and the inspection report, and ask us anything in the comments before you bid.
3. Place your bid — or set a maximum
Enter the most you are willing to pay. Our system bids for you automatically, only as much as needed to keep you in the lead, up to your maximum. Nobody else can see your maximum. If someone outbids you, we'll email you straight away.
4. Reserve price
Some vehicles have a reserve — a secret minimum price. The vehicle only sells if the bidding reaches the reserve. You'll see Reserve met once it does. Auctions marked No reserve sell to the highest bidder.
5. Extended bidding — no last-second sniping
If a bid is placed in the final minutes, the end time is extended. Everyone gets a fair chance to respond, so the vehicle sells for its true value.
6. Fees
If a buyer's fee applies, it is shown clearly on the auction and is added to the winning bid. Sales tax, title and registration fees are charged as required by law.
7. Bids are binding
Please only bid if you intend to buy. A winning bid is a commitment to purchase the vehicle.
8. When you win
You'll receive an email the moment the auction ends. We'll contact you within one business day with your invoice and help you arrange payment and pickup or shipping.
