My advice, sell on you own. Don’t leave it to the “experts” when it comes to scheduling the auction. My advice would be not to have your auction run during a holiday weekend, and request an end time for the auction after 5 pm, when ordinary working people can actually participate. Be aware that they won’t allow you to contact an interested party that missed the closing moments of the auction, even if your reserve isn’t met.

Cars & Bids (C&B) is an auction site Cars & Bids (C&B) is an auction site. I purchased a vehicle at auction and was charged a commission of 4.5% on Nov6. On Nov 11 i traveled 500 miles to San Diego to inspect the vehicle. The seller refused to allow me to drive the vehicle. Instead the seller took me for a drive in the vehicle. The seller represented that the vehicle had just been serviced and was in perfect condition. I discovered otherwise. Vehicle dashboard lights were flickering and seat massage functions did not work in the Mercedes S560. The vehicle may have had other issues but without driving i could not determine that. The seller's comment was "well you are not a real buyer". I walked away from the deal and C&B refused to refund the $2925.00 they charged to my credit card. How can an auction company keep a commission for a transaction that did not go thru? If a seller misrepresented what was being sold and is dishonest i am not going to purchase the vehicle.

Heavy Handed Censorship As a long time bidder AND buyer on car auction sites like C&B, I've found the input and comments from others both entertaining and valuable. However, C&B's ad hoc deletion of some comments makes my opinion of this site dim considerably. In addition to the bidding process, the banter of car enthusiasts is what makes sites like C&B and BAT exciting, fun, and educational. C&B, however, seems to have an unreasonably heavy handed censorship bent on their site. When I questioned their deletion of others benign comments, they then censored my comments, deleted them, and froze my account! Wow, as a mature and seasoned enthusiast, I find their behavior surprisingly immature in this area.

It's legit! don't let the bad reviews scare you I feel like most of the bad reviews are from people who were trying to sell their cars and got rejected, but understand that it is a site made for auto enthusiasts, not a substitute for craigslist. They only sell the cars they deem fit for their market (auto enthusiasts). I bought a car through this site, and had my doubts at first, but the process was easy (wayyyyyy easier than dealing with a dealership or used car lot) and reliable. Now that I know this is an option, I don't see myself going into a dealership ever again.
