Register to bid in three steps.
Browsing is open to everyone. To bid you need a verified account. It is free, and a person at our office reviews it so everyone bidding is real.
What happens
-
Your details
Your full legal name, a phone number the office can reach you on, your email, your location and a password of at least 10 characters. Buying for a company? Choose the business option and add the business details.
-
Photo ID
Upload a clear photo of the front of your driver license or government photo ID. The back helps. Images and PDFs both work.
-
Agreement
Read and accept the membership agreement: auction rules, payment and pickup. A bid is a binding offer to buy, so it is worth reading properly.
-
We review your account
A rep checks your ID and may call you. When you are approved we email you and bidding switches on. You can follow progress on your verification page.

Common questions
Why do you need my ID?
Vehicle auctions attract fraud. Fake bids and abandoned wins cost honest buyers. Checking identity once keeps the bidding room clean for everyone in it.
Who can see my ID, and how is it stored?
Your ID is stored privately, outside the public part of the website. Only the staff handling your verification can open it, and every view is logged. Read the privacy policy for the details.
How long does the review take?
A rep reviews accounts during office hours (Mon-Fri 9am-6pm). If you have waited longer than you expected, call the office and we will look at it.
I closed the page halfway. What now?
Sign in and we take you to the step you were on. Nothing you finished is lost.
My ID photo was unclear or has expired.
Upload a new one from your verification page. If a rep asked for a different document, they will say which.
Do I have to confirm my email?
We send a confirmation link, and it helps you receive bid alerts and invoices, but nothing is blocked while it is waiting. Can't find it? Check spam, or ask for a new link from your account.
I forgot my password.
Use Forgot password and we email you a reset link. Check spam if it does not arrive.
