Buyer guide

Five steps. Tap to expand.

Follow builds, join Crew, evaluate honestly, then Send It or bid — tap each step for more.

  1. Browse
  2. Crew
  3. Evaluate
  4. Send It
  5. Close

Filter Discover for real project builds. Read the Window Sticker, photos, and Garage history before you invest attention or money.

  • Use Discover filters for live builds, almost ready for auction, and in-auction projects.
  • Open the Garage profile to see other builds and sold stories from the seller.

Follow the project for updates. Track Crew count toward unlock and get notified when Send It opens.

  • Crew members often get the first window before the wider market.
  • Growing Crew is your demand signal — serious buyers show up before the auction.

Use structured listing data and Crew momentum to decide if a project is worth following — before anyone hits Send It.

  • Title status, what's done, money in, photos, Q&A, history.
  • Seller Garages show other builds, updates, and sold stories. You are buying from a builder with a track record, not a one-off post.
  • A growing Crew means real buyers are paying attention before Send It unlocks. Use it to gauge interest — and join early if you are serious.
  • Before an auction ends, ask questions in the listing Q&A — answers are public. When the auction opens, bids are timed and binding — like an auction should be.

Ready first? Send It at the seller's floor and become the opening bidder. Prefer to watch? Bid up during the 72-hour window.

  • Verified buyers only — phone, email, and card on file before Send It or bidding.
  • Public bid ladder, visible timer, and anti-snipe protection in the final minutes.

Highest valid bid at close wins. Confirm the sale, complete payment, and coordinate pickup or transport.

  • The sale is binding — plan logistics before you bid your max.
  • No renegotiation spiral after the hammer falls.
Why buyers choose us

Built for project cars. Not window shoppers.

Why buyers show up here instead of classifieds — the short list. Deeper Send It and auction detail is below.

Built for project-car buyers

You are not digging through random classifieds. Listings are made for unfinished builds and serious buyers.

More trust signals up front

Garage profiles, build stories, and clear listing details help you evaluate faster before you bid.

Clear auction window

When Send It happens, you get a defined 72-hour window instead of endless back-and-forth messages.

Real demand, visible momentum

Crew activity shows which projects have real buyer attention and community support.

Before you bid

Evaluate the build. Not the post.

Buyers need different detail than sellers. Use structured listing data and Crew momentum to decide if a project is worth following — before anyone hits Send It.

Window Sticker & build sheet

Title status, what's done, money in, photos, Q&A, history.

Real Garage, real history

Seller Garages show other builds, updates, and sold stories. You are buying from a builder with a track record, not a one-off post.

Crew count as demand signal

A growing Crew means real buyers are paying attention before Send It unlocks. Use it to gauge interest — and join early if you are serious.

Public Q&A, not DMs

Before an auction ends, ask questions in the listing Q&A — answers are public. When the auction opens, bids are timed and binding — like an auction should be.

Buyer playbook

From Crew to won.

One buyer-focused timeline — when to join, when Send It makes sense, how bidding works, and what happens after you win. For platform rules and seller mechanics, see How It Works.

Seller & platform guide →
  1. Before unlock

    01Join the Crew & watch the build

    Follow updates, read the Window Sticker, and get notified when Crew hits the seller's goal. Showing up early beats refreshing Discover after the auction already started.

  2. At unlock

    02Send It or wait for the ladder

    Ready to lead? Verified buyers can Send It at the public floor price and become the opening bidder. Prefer to watch? Wait for others to open the clock, then bid up.

  3. During the 72 hours

    03Bid with a visible clock

    Current bid, time left, and history are on the project page. Use standard increments or jump bids. Anti-snipe can extend the final minutes — watch the timer turn serious.

  4. After you win

    04Confirm, pay, coordinate handoff

    Highest valid bid at close wins. You and the seller confirm the sale, then handle payment and pickup or transport. The sale is binding — plan logistics before you bid your max.
