Consignment
You bring a car, we inspect it, we agree a reserve, and it runs in a numbered lane on a published date.
1 · Entry
Send the vehicle details and photographs. We tell you within two business days whether it fits a sale and roughly where it should sit.
2 · Intake
Deliver the vehicle by the Monday before the sale. It is photographed and inspected here — a consignor-supplied condition report is not used in place of ours.
3 · Reserve
You set a reserve, or you run without one. We will tell you what we think the room will do, and the number is still yours.
4 · Catalogue
The lot goes onto the run list with its number, lane, condition report and announcement sheet, usually eight days before the sale.
5 · Sale day
The vehicle crosses under its light. If it sells, you are notified the same day.
6 · Settlement
Funds are released once the buyer has paid in full and the title has been recorded.
In our words
Why it is built this way
A reserve is a floor. Set it too high and the car goes home with a no-sale on its record; set it low and you are exposed to whoever turns up. Both are legitimate positions and the decision is the consignor's.
We publish no-sales alongside sales in the results. A consignor who wants an outcome hidden is asking for something we do not do, because a results page that only shows the wins is not a results page.
Every figure on this page is illustrative sample data for a design demonstration.
