Step 1 of 8

Tell us about
your car.

Basic details. Be precise — our AI cross-references everything against the VIN in Step 5.

Be specific. Buyers pay premiums for correct details. "Original" vs "replacement" matters enormously.
Used to calculate live shipping estimates shown to international bidders at bid time.
Step 2 of 8

Write your
story.

This is the chapter buyers read most. Your ownership narrative directly affects final hammer price — listings with 200+ word stories consistently close 18–24% higher than bare listings.

0 / 300 minBe honest and specific. Buyers connect with real stories, not marketing language.

This is not optional. Our community has a zero-tolerance policy for misrepresentation. Honest disclosure protects both parties.

Step 5 of 8

VIN verification.

We run your VIN through the NHTSA database in real time. This confirms make, model, year, and body type — and cross-references what you told us in Step 1.

VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through windshield), door jamb sticker, or title document. Pre-1981 vehicles may have shorter VINs — that's okay.
Step 6 of 8

Step 8 of 8

Set up your
listing.

Choose how you want to sell, how long to run, and your reserve. We'll handle the rest.

🏁

Auction

7, 10, or 14-day timed auction. Competitive bidding drives final price. No reserve or reserve options available. Best for rare and desirable vehicles.

🏷️

Classified

Fixed asking price with direct buyer inquiry. You negotiate privately. Best for vehicles with a firm price expectation.

No-reserve listings consistently attract more bids and higher final prices. We recommend it for well-documented, fairly-priced vehicles.
