Create Your Account
Sign up through our secure portal as either a licensed dealer or a public bidder. Be prepared to provide basic identification and, for dealers, valid business credentials to complete your registration.
Browse the Inventory
Preview upcoming auction lots before the sale goes live. Review Carfax reports, photos, odometer readings, and seller announcements.
Set Proxy Bids (Optional)
Can't attend live? Set a maximum proxy bid in advance. The system will automatically bid on your behalf up to your limit. Proxy bids are binding, just like live bids.
Bid Live
Join the auction in real time and place bids with a single click. Each lot remains open while bidding activity continues and closes once the countdown expires without new bids. So be ready. Things move quickly.
Win & Pay
If you win, your bid is a binding commitment. Full payment, including applicable buyer's fees, must be completed within the specified payment window. See our terms and conditions for payment details.
Arrange Pickup or Transport
Once payment is confirmed, you'll receive your release documents. You can schedule pickup with our team or arrange third-party transport. Same-day release is available for confirmed payments.
