We accept listings from all over the world.

To submit your car for sale, go to the “Sell” link at the top of the page and select which package suits your needs. You’ll be asked to provide some basic details about the car. Please be sure to have the Year, Make, Model, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and anything else we should know about your vehicle prepared before you begin the application process. Please include photos of the car, inside and out, and click “Submit.” Our auction team will get back to you after reviewing your submission.

No, your car can stay where it currently is. If a buyer requests to view your car in person, a viewing can be arranged at a location convenient to you.

1) High-quality images are essential to an online presentation. We recommend using our professional photography services.
2) Provide us with comprehensive, detailed, and transparent information about your vehicle, including invoices, service history, repairs and anything else a prospective buyer would want to know.
3) Be engaged with your auction by providing thoughtful responses in the comment section of your listing.

Yes. Professional photos are a critical part of online sales. This is why we offer a professional photography service package. Please contact us if you have any questions or require help with our photography services. For a more detailed view on what photography we require, please follow the link to our photo guide.

Yes. We can use any YouTube links you supply as part of your SBX Cars auction presentation. Videos are considered a very effective sales tool for online sales. Prospective buyers will often request:

1) Exterior walk-around of the vehicle
2) Engine cold-start
3) Driving video depicting the interior, dash, and driving performance
4) Notable features in action (e.g., convertible top or active aerodynamics).

We do. Our team of professional writers will craft an auction description based on the information you provide on the the submission form. The more details you can provide, the better we can describe your vehicle. You will have the opportunity to request final adjustments before your listing goes live.

Once you submit your listing, an SBX specialist will be in touch with you and will be your main point of contact from start to finish.

Auction Reserve is the minimum price you will accept for the sale of your vehicle. You may lower your auction reserve at any time during the live auction. The reserve price is not public and only when a bid is made that meets or exceeds the reserve will the auction display change to: “Reserve Met”. If a car is offered at no reserve, the auction will display: “No Reserve”.

Yes. During the submission process, you will be asked if you wish to sell your vehicle with or without a reserve price. If you are unsure, we can help determine a suitable auction reserve or advise if the car might benefit from a no reserve auction. No reserve listings will attract a higher number of bidders, because they know the car is guaranteed to sell.

SBX Cars maintains a carefully curated auction calendar designed to maximize results for each auction. Upon listing approval, we will work with you to determine the best date and time slot for your car to go live. For the duration of the auction, you may need to respond to specific questions in the comment section about your vehicle. If possible, we recommend making yourself available during the close of the auction to instill bidder confidence through participation.

SBX Cars hosts online auctions for 7 or 14 days, unless otherwise noted.

SBX Cars is not able to edit auctions once they go live on our platform. Once you are satisfied with the car’s presentation, we ask that you approve the listing through your user dashboard. Once live, if any part of the description prompts specific questions in the comments, you can answer/clarify those questions within the comments section.

We recommend engaging positively with the SBX community. You can begin your sale by introducing yourself via comment to provide a little bio or background on the car. By being helpful and providing prompt and positive engagement, you can set the tone of the auction, which will translate to more confident bidders.

Once you sign an SBX Cars “Seller’s Agreement” and agree to our Terms & Conditions, your vehicle is for sale exclusively through the SBX Cars auction platform. Any attempt to sell the vehicle off platform before or during the auction will result in a cancellation of the auction and account suspension. Please contact us if there are extenuating circumstances.

SBX Cars will connect the buyer and seller via email to arrange payment and finalize the sale. The winning Bidder and Seller will receive further instructions and an outline of the next steps. Wire transfers or cashier’s checks for payment are common methods of payment. However, it is at the sole discretion of the Buyer and Seller to coordinate the payment process.

In the event that reserve is not met, we will reach out to the highest bidder to facilitate a post-sale agreement.

All previous auctions will remain permanently available to view.

Please get in touch with us by email.

Only Registered Bidders can bid on auction lots. SBX Cars can accommodate buyers from around the globe and accepts most recognized forms of currency. If you have a specific question about a country or payment method, please contact us. It is important to note that, as a potential buyer, you will be responsible for shipping logistics, taxes, and registration costs in your country or state.

To contact a seller, you must first become a registered bidder. Once registered, you can contact the seller privately through the auction description page for the seller’s vehicle. Click the “Schedule Inspection” link next to the seller’s name to send a private message. It is against SBX terms to disclose the reserve at any time. Please ask any general questions regarding the car in the Comments section of the auction, which benefits the entire SBX Cars community.

Our Buyer's Fee, also known as a "Buyer's Premium," is 5% of the final auction sale price with no upper limit. This fee is in addition to the amount paid to the seller. Up to $10,000 of the Buyer's Fee will be automatically charged to your payment card on file, with the remaining balance invoiced directly. You may opt to pay the entire fee via invoice in place of using your payment card on file

The minimum bidding increments are:

$500 minimum increments to $100,000 USD
$1,000 minimum increments from $100,001 to $1,000,000 USD
$5,000 minimum increments after reaching the $1,000,000 USD threshold.
Bidders are welcome to create custom increments that exceed these figures.

Yes. We offer absentee bidding as an option. This is for those who might not be available for the close of an important auction. You will need to choose a starting bid, a bidding increment, and a maximum bid. Please note that entering a maximum bid threshold locks in that commitment, and once the maximum bid is chosen, it cannot be reduced.

We cannot permit bid cancellations for any reason, so please confirm your offer is correct and you have everything you will require in place to complete the purchase.

We will place a temporary hold of $500 on your payment card when you make an initial auction bid. If you win the auction, this hold will be converted to a charge and applied towards the buyer's fee. This policy is in place to confirm that every bid reflects genuine intent to purchase. If you do not win the auction, the hold will be released, and no charge will be made.

SBX Cars will immediately cancel and release all payment holds upon the conclusion of the auction. Typically, credit card companies release a hold in two to three business days. Some banks may take seven business days. The hold release will depend on your bank or financial institution. Please contact your card issuer directly with any questions about the timeline and process.

Upon the close of a successful auction, we will process our fee to the buyer and connect the buyer and seller via email to finalize sale details. Please reach out to SBX Cars if you need assistance at any point during the process. Contact us.

Our platform is designed to allow bidding in all major currencies. The currency used for each auction will be determined by the location of the car.

Buyers are invited to arrange their own preferred transportation method or contact us for help. Shipping arrangements and any associated costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer. We recommend insuring your vehicle prior to transport.

If we detect last-second bids, or “sniper bids”, SBX Cars will extend the bidding for two minutes. We want everyone to have an equal opportunity to make their best bid and win the vehicle.
