How bidding works — clearly explained
Live competitive auctions where the highest bid wins. Everything you need to know before you bid.
Bids are legally binding
Once you place a bid you are committing to purchase the vehicle if you win. Review all details and fee estimates before bidding.
Auto-bid sets your ceiling
Set a maximum bid and our system automatically raises your bid incrementally as others bid, up to your limit — without you watching.
Last-minute bids extend the auction
Any bid placed in the final 5 minutes automatically extends the auction by 5 minutes, giving all buyers a fair opportunity to respond.
All fees shown before you bid
Auction fee (2% of winning bid, min $299), documentation ($199), and shipping estimate are displayed on every listing page.
Average buyer saves 35% below retail
Competitive auctions bring market-rate pricing — typically 25–45% below the retail sticker price for the same vehicle at a dealership.
Losing a bid costs you nothing
If you don't win, you owe nothing. No deposit, no fee, no obligation. Keep bidding on other vehicles immediately.
Every cost is shown before you bid
We display the auction fee, documentation fee, and estimated shipping on every listing page — before you place any bid. What you see is exactly what you pay.
What happens after you win
The process after winning is simple, fully guided, and handled by our team at every step.
