Launch Price
Your floor, not a wish
Your Launch Price is what you'll let the project go for when you Send It. Once interest hits your goal, verified buyers can open a 72-hour auction at that floor.
Your home for enthusiast builds. Create your garage, document the build, grow interest, and share what you're working on with builders who get it. Join free.
Build it. Show it. Sell it when
you're ready.
Create a free Garage for your project car, post updates, build interest, and launch it for sale when the time is right. Finished or unfinished — every build deserves a place people can follow.
Posting is free. Sell only when you're ready.
Build interest
Real buyers follow your build while you build. More interest, better price
Send It
When you Send It, the project lists for sale. A verified buyer opens the 72-hour auction at your floor
Window Sticker
Honest build sheet. No surprises.
Free until the seller sends it · ~10 min to list
Early on The Lot
Proof, not promises.
Verified before action
Phone, email, and card on file before a live bid or auction open.
Documented builds
Window Sticker, build updates, and structured project details — not five photos and a prayer.
Live on The Lot
Shops post progress in the open feed. That's the proof strip — real activity, early community.
Private until close
Ask in public Q&A before the hammer. Buyer and seller contact details become available after the auction ends.
Send It
What Send It actually does.
Interest
Interest has to build first
You don't Send It until the interest goal is met. That threshold filters tire-kickers: only builds with enough verified interest hit the open market.
Auction opens
First verified buyer opens the clock
After you Send It for sale, followers get notified. The first verified buyer to start the auction locks the Launch Price as the opening bid and starts the 72-hour clock.
Alerts
Interested buyers get notified
When you list for sale, buyers following the build get email and push — then a verified buyer can open the auction at your floor.

Create Your Garage
Your builder home on Sell My Project.

Photos, updates, and your Launch Price — free to list.
04
Send It Auction
Send It is the price you’ll let it go for. Hit your goal and list for sale — then a verified buyer can open a 72-hour auction at that floor.
05
Complete the Sale
Payment, fees, and handoff when the hammer falls.
Most builds gather interest over days or weeks. When the seller Lists for sale and a verified buyer opens the auction at the Launch Price, a 72-hour auction begins.
Window Sticker
What's Inside a Window Sticker?
Title & VIN
How it's titled — and the VIN
Clean, salvage, or rebuilt, plus the VIN on record. Buyers confirm the real title status and vehicle identity before they show interest or bid.
Drivetrain
Engine, transmission & driveline
What's under it — engine, transmission, and drivetrain spec, each marked not started, in progress, or done. No guessing what's swapped or finished.
Known issues
What's broken, upfront
Faults, damage, and the work still needed — disclosed before the sale, not surprises after the hammer falls.
Parts in / out
What's included — and what's not
New and upgraded parts that are in the build, plus anything removed or still missing. Buyers know exactly what comes with the car.
Receipts
Money in, documented
Seller-disclosed receipts and invoices for parts and labor. Helps buyers understand the real investment and scope — not a price guarantee.
Running / driving
Does it run and drive?
The current state on the record — runs, drives, rolls, or project-only. Buyers know exactly what they're getting before they bid.

FAQ
Straight answers.
What does it cost?
For Sale: seller $0, buyer $0. Auction: seller $0, buyer premium 5% of the hammer (maximum $5,000). No surprise math — details on the Fees page.
What if interest never hits my goal?
No problem. Keep building demand, add better photos, update the story, or adjust the Launch Price when you're ready.
How long does this take?
Building interest depends on the build, price, photos, and how much you share it.
Can I list partial builds?
Yes. Project cars and in-progress builds are welcome. We do not accept parts-only projects.
Do I have to sell right now?
No. Build your Garage, post your project, gain followers, and sell when you're ready.
Who handles shipping?
The buyer handles transport. That's how project-car deals have always worked. We can help connect them with vetted transporters.
What if someone tries to scam me?
Use Report this build on any project. Before an auction ends, ask questions in the public Q&A on the project. For marketplace projects, use Messages to chat with the seller. Verify title and VIN in person, and never wire money or send a deposit off-platform to hold a vehicle. We verify bidders and review reports, but we do not guarantee transactions.
Why does my project need followers?
Followers prove there's real interest before the auction goes live. More eyes. Better momentum. Better shot at a strong sale.
What if I change my mind?
You can pull your project any time before a buyer commits. No pressure.

Our story
Built by a garage. For garages.
Sell My Project was built by RustyK5 — a group of weekend warriors who love a good project, good friends, and a weekend in the shop. We built this for everyone with a passion for turning wrenches and getting their hands dirty.
“Some builds run out of money. Some run out of weekends. Some run out of life. All of them deserve a finish line.”
