ARE THERE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SELLER?

There can be. Generally, they break down like this. Trade sellers, private sellers.  Trade sellers are acting as a business. The business may own the car or they may have been given the approval to manage the sale.  As a legitimate business, they must follow all legal requirements operating under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. You can read The Act in full, HERE. Private [...]

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE AUCTION LOT HAS SOME DEFECTS?

It is a good question. Broadly a few sensible points. Please remember, one person’s ‘defect’ is another person’s patina character. These are classics not anything else. Our process means we work closely to describe details of the lots. Additionally, we suggest buyers visit and view a vehicle where possible. We host a message service and we encourage buyers to engage with [...]

CAN I WITHDRAW A BID?

Well, first things first, why would you? Secondly, sorry, no. Please only bid with intent. Doing anything else causes a massive sense of humour failure all round. More importantly, once you’ve placed a winning bid you are contractually bound. If you are the successful buyer and you fail to complete the purchase, you will [...]

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE RESERVE IS NOT MET?

Two things here. If the auction ends and the final highest bid is within 10% of the reserve, we will PROVISIONALLY sell the car. This means we will go back to the seller and aim to get their approval to accept that bid.   If at the end of the auction the final highest bid is NOT within 10% of the reserve, the team [...]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “NO SNIPING”?

Sadly, some on-line auctions buyers use a little bit of sneaky software to enter a bid in the very final nano-seconds of the auction to try and pip others without giving them a chance to respond. So to make sure everyone plays fair, if a bid is placed during the last 2 minutes of [...]

HOW DO RESERVES WORK?

Before chatting to a vendor, we'll do our background work regarding values. Using our experience and supported by research into the vehicle, current market conditions etc we'll understand the expected value of a vehicle and together set a reasonable reserve. We ask that vendors be realistic, there is no point in reserving a car well above [...]
