We provide ALL the promotion and customer service of a live auction house at the cost and ease of selling with an online classified or timed event provider. It is our promise that your entire entry fee of $99 will fully go towards advertising your vehicle including but not limited to industry publications (classiccars.com, hemmings.com, motorious.com. etc.), social media marketing (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.), targeted emails (in-house and industry mailing lists), online advertising (geo-targeted Google and social media ads, YouTube, press releases, blogs, etc.), PLUS long-term customer relationships that can only be provided by individuals with ample experience and trusted names in the collector car industry. The required professional photography and videography will be owned by YOU. We will hold back-to-back auctions covering the entirety of the United States … first with Proxibid and then Auction Mobility. Following each auction, our sales staff will continue to work with buyers and sellers to close additional sales. If your vehicle is not sold at auction, you will receive an additional 30-days of marketing on our website at no additional charge.
Once again, we provide you with the peace of mind and customer service of a live auction house but without all the normal worries and hassle of purchasing with an online classified or timed event provider. Our staff will have professionally written the vehicle description, decoded the VIN and verified the title matches the vehicle. The professional photography and videography will not only capture the beauty of the vehicle but its condition. Our website will be a one stop shop providing you everything you need to purchase a vehicle including financing and shipping options … even acquiring the necessary appraisal for insurance. You will have no registration fees (deposit required to bid), a reasonable buyer’s premium of only 8% and three opportunities to buy with us online.
