BIDR Auctions: How It Works
Welcome to BIDR Auctions! We've created a straightforward platform where enthusiasts can buy and sell unique vehicles. Browse our listings freely without an account, and when you're ready to buy or sell, registration is quick and simple.
Our process is designed with transparency in mind:
• Buyers: Free registration with a 4% buyer's premium ($250 minimum, $4,000 maximum)
• Sellers: One-time $49 listing fee (non-refundable, paid after listing is approved)
• All users must register to bid or list vehicles
Buying a Vehicle on BIDR
Creating an account is your first step into the BIDR community. Once registered, add a valid credit card for bidding verification. We'll place a hold on your card when you bid (don't worry - it's released at auction end if you're outbid), and we recommend reviewing our Bidding Terms and Conditions before placing your first bid.
Finding & Bidding on Vehicles
Browse our carefully curated selection of modern supercars, classics, sports cars, and more:
• Review all photos and vehicle history
• Ask questions through the listing's comment section
• Understand that all bids are binding commitments
• Note that last-minute bids extend auction time by 2 minutes
