Auction guide
How it works
Once your account is verified, you are ready to explore vehicles and join live auctions. Browse inventory, filter by make, model, year, price, and more, then decide whether to bid live or use Buy Now before the auction opens.
Listing information
High-quality photos
Vehicle specifications and mileage
Condition reports
CARFAX reports where available, upon request
CARFAX request limit
Due to a high influx of bad-faith actors, CARFAX requests are limited to 2 per day.
Price points
Every listing has three numbers to understand.
Starting Price
The minimum amount for the very first Standard Bid.
Estimated Value
A prediction of the final sale price, based on historical market data.
Buy Now Price
The vendor pre-approved price that allows you to bypass the auction.
Standard Bid
Win by holding the highest bid when the timer runs out.
Live auctions run Monday through Friday, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
Each vehicle is allotted a few minutes, usually 6. Bidding begins at the listed Starting Price.
All subsequent bids must increase by a minimum of $100.
If a bid is placed within the final 30 seconds, the timer extends by another 30 seconds.
The final winning bid is subject to vendor approval if it falls below the confidential reserve price.
Buy Now
Secure a vehicle instantly before the auction goes live.
Buy Now is pre-approved by the vendor, so there is no waiting period for approval. The listed Buy Now price includes all transaction fees, meaning the number you see is the exact dollar amount you pay.
Available only before live bidding
Once the vehicle hits the auction block, Buy Now is disabled and the vehicle can only be won through Standard Bid.
After winning
Payment, title processing, and release happen in order.
01
Confirmation
You receive an automated email confirming your win. Shortly after, an agent contacts you to confirm details, finalize payment preference, and discuss shipping if needed.
02
Payment and title processing
Once payment is confirmed by the vendor, title documentation begins. ELT states usually take 5 to 8 business days. Paper title states can take 3 to 4 weeks.
03
Vehicle delivery or pickup
After documentation is finalized, you can self-pickup with a Gate Pass or have delivery coordinated through open carrier, enclosed carrier, flatbed, or expedited dispatch partners.
Vehicle access during processing
Access to the vehicle is strictly prohibited while payment confirmation and title processing are still underway.
Pickup or shipping
Receive the vehicle after documentation is finalized.
For self-pickup, we instruct the vendor to issue a Gate Pass. For shipping, we coordinate with carrier dispatch partners for open transport, enclosed transport, flatbed moves, and expedited lanes. Shipping is paid in cash to the driver upon delivery.

I've purchased three cars through this platform now. Every experience has been smooth, and customer support has always answered my questions quickly.

The bidding system is straightforward and updates in real time, managed to get a 2020 mazda for much less than local dealership prices
