How to sell a car on CARBIDS?
At CARBIDS, we are passionate about streamlining the process of car auctions and making them accessible hence why everything can be completed online. Selling your car on our established platform is a simple six-step process.

1. Submit your car for appraisal.
   We are experienced in the process of selling cars via online auctions, and as part of this service, we will appraise your vehicle. This process begins by submitting a form with your details so that we can determine your car's market value. You can find this form here.
   
   
2. Agree on the value.
   Due to our experience and data, we can expertly price your vehicle. We will discuss this with you, and when we agree on this price, a reserve will be set. Your car will not sell under this amount without your explicit approval.
   
   
3. Create the best listing.
   We will create the listing for you. This includes an accurate description of your car and photos to show your vehicle in its best
   light, and if we do not have access to photograph your car, we will provide you with a template of the photos you should take. Presenting your car online with all the facts and an extensive range of photos is the best way to inform as many potential buyers as possible.
   
   
4. Auction.
   As soon as we approve the listing, the auction goes live online, and bids can roll in. Our platform is proven to attract competitive bidding on cars and creates the ultimate opportunity to maximise your return.
   
   
5. Collection of funds.
   We deal with the buyer on your behalf to ensure we take any hassle out of the selling process. We collect the funds and then introduce you to the buyer for collection arrangements.
   
   
6. You get the money.
   Now for the fun part! Once the handover of the vehicle is completed, we remit 100% of the auction price to your account.
