How much does it cost to bid at auction?

Participants with a guest account are not required to pay a registration fee. However, the ability to bid is only available after making a security deposit of at least $600, which determines the participant's buying power and is fully refundable.

The «Guest» plan allows placing one active pre-bid at a time and purchasing one vehicle up to $2,500. To buy additional vehicles or place bids above $2,500, participants must upgrade their plan.

The «Basic» plan costs $69 and allows purchasing one vehicle through pre-bidding and live auctions with the help of a broker. Participants on the «Basic» plan can place bids up to $5,000. The plan includes one free VIN check per year.

The «Advanced» plan costs $199 and allows purchasing an unlimited number of vehicles within one year. Participants also receive discounts on transaction fees and ten free vehicle history reports.

The «Premium» plan costs $349. It includes twenty ClearVin credits and discounts on commission fees.

Regardless of the chosen plan, a participant's buying power determines how much they can bid. The security deposit equals 10% of the buying power. For example, a $600 deposit gives a buying power of $6,000. For more details, see the Deposit Policy.
