Price points

Key price points

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 Mon-Sat from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time.

Each vehicle is allotted 5-7 minutes. 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, the vendor will return with a counteroffer.

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.

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.

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.

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, or flatbed via one of our dispatch partners.

Vehicle access during processing

Access to the vehicle is restricted 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.

Won a 2017 Ford F-150 a few weeks ago and honestly had my doubts buying a truck online without kicking the tires first. Mike answered all my questions about the condition report and kept me posted until the hauler arrived in Georgia. Truck runs solid, interior was super clean. Definitely using them again for my next work truck.

Got a 2020 Honda Civic for my daughter. Beat local dealer prices by at least three grand even after the buyer fee. Gate pickup window in Florida was a little narrow on Friday afternoon, but their dispatch team worked with our driver without giving us a hard time. Solid experience overall.

James on the phone support was fantastic. This was my second time bidding here (first a Subaru, now a 2021 Jeep Wrangler). He pulled up the OBD scan and walked through the underside photos before the hammer dropped. Car arrived with zero hidden issues. Really appreciate the patience!

Fair platform with good inventory. Bought a 2018 Silverado that mechanically runs great, though the tailgate had a small scratch that wasn't super obvious on my phone screen. Joel was quick to respond when I brought it up and handled things professionally. Just zoom into the gallery photos closely before bidding.

Never bought from a digital car auction before so I was super anxious about getting outbid or doing something wrong. Lexi walked me through setting up my max bid and explained the paperwork fees clearly. Ended up with a clean 2019 Camry well under my budget. Couldn't be happier!
