Build a Crew

Window Sticker
Honest build sheet. No surprises.
Free until a buyer Sends It · ~10 min to list
Early on The Lot
Proof, not promises.
Verified before action
Phone, email, and card on file before Send It or a live bid.
Documented builds
Window Sticker, build diary, and structured listings — 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 unlock after the auction ends.
Send It
What Send It actually does.
Crew unlock
Crew has to show up first
Send It stays locked until your Crew goal is met. That threshold filters tire-kickers: only builds with enough verified interest can launch an auction.
First Send It
First verified buyer opens the clock
When Crew unlocks, verified buyers get notified. The first one to Send It locks in the Launch Price as the opening bid and starts the 72-hour auction immediately.
Crew window
Five minutes for Crew first
Right after unlock, there's a short Crew-only window before the listing opens wider. Crew members who've been following the build get the first shot.
How It Works
More than a marketplace.
01
Create Your Garage
Your builder home on Sell My Project.
02
Build a Following
Buyers follow your build and join your Crew.
03
List & Share
Photos, updates, and your Launch Price — free to list.
04
Send It Auction
The price you’ll let it go for. Hit your crew goal and the first buyer to Send It starts a 72-hour auction
05
Complete the Sale
Payment, fees, and handoff when the hammer falls.
Most Crews build over days or weeks. When a verified buyer Sends It 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 join the Crew 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?
Free to launch for founding builders. Sellers pay nothing. Buyers pay a 5% premium on the hammer, capped at $5,000.
What if my Crew never hits goal?
No problem. Keep building your crew, add better photos, update the story, or adjust the Launch Price when you’re ready.
How long does this take?
Crew timing 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 listings.
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 listing. Before an auction ends, ask questions in the public Q&A on the listing. For marketplace listings, 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 listing any time before a buyer commits. No pressure.
For Sellers
Got a build worth talking about?
List once with honest photos and a Launch Price. Your Crew proves demand before a binding auction — not another weekend of "still available?" messages.
- Verified buyers only
- Card on file required before bidding
- Buyer and seller contact details remain private until the auction ends — use public Q&A before then, or Messages for marketplace listings

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.”
