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.
