Why Hagerty Marketplace?

How auctions work

Selling on auctions

1. Submit a car
   Create an account, snap a few pictures, and answer some basic questions. Our team will get back to you in a business day to gather more information or let you know whether your car is a good fit for auctions.
2. Gather paperwork
   To make sure we can provide post-sale support, there are a few things we need up front. You’ll need to submit:

   • A digital copy of your ID
   • A digital copy of your title
   • A signed copy of your Hagerty Marketplace consignment contract
3. Create the listing
   Our car specialists will work with you to get your vehicle ready to sell, including helping to craft its description and story. We’ll need plenty of high-quality photos to give buyers a full view of the car. Check out the best practices video below and download our photo guide to get started. We’ll work together to set a reserve, if you choose, based on current market trends and pricing data from our valuation team. Rest assured, your listing will be prepped by industry veterans who know how to sell.

4. Go live
   Your listing will be live for two weeks. Pro-tip: check your listing and respond to comments daily; quickly responding to questions and comments on the listing increases engagement and visibility. You’ll be notified (by text and/or email) each time someone comments or bids on your listing.
5. Close the deal
   Once our team collects the bidder’s premium from the winning bidder, we’ll share contact information between you and the buyer. You’ll work together to coordinate payment, document ownership transfer and arrange transport. You can expect an email with best practices and advice for a seamless transaction. And our team is here to help with any questions you may have about this process.

Bidding on auctions

1. Create an account and start browsing
   You’ll need a valid email to create an account. Simply select a display name and you’ll be on your way. Cruise around and find a car (or multiple cars) that you love. Check back often; new auctions are listed daily. You can comment on listings and ask questions, both the Marketplace community and sellers can respond.
2. Get prepped
   Add a payment method to your account so you’re ready to bid as soon as you find your dream car. If you win, the bidder’s premium will be charged to your payment method on file.
3. Place your bid
   Click the “Place bid” button and enter your bid amount. Sniping protections are in place within the final two minutes. If a bid is placed within that time, the clock will reset to two minutes to give everyone a fair chance in the bidding process - learn more about sniping protections and bidding in the final minutes/seconds here. Keep an eye on your auction. You’ll be notified by text and/or email if you’re outbid.
4. Close the deal
   If you’re the winning bidder, we will charge the bidder’s premium (7% of the final sale price, $500 minimum) using the credit card you provided at registration. Once that payment has been successfully collected, we’ll provide contact information to both you and the seller. You’ll work together to coordinate payment, document transfer and vehicle transport. You can expect an email from our team with best practices and advice for a seamless transaction. And we’re always here to help with any questions you may have about this process.
