Cars & BidsReviews of carsandbids.com

A simple to use website coupled with easy-to-understand auction rules and great customer service. Will recommend, may buy again in the future, and am contemplating selling one of my other vehicles on this platform.

Great selling experience on C & B. Website functioned efficiently. It takes time and effort on the part of the seller to prepare the listing and answer questions, but the potential reward is there and well supported by the C & B applications. I would (and probably will) use this site again. Thanks!

What a seamless selling process! The buyer pays a simple buyer's fee, and for the seller - it's free! Great support for the seller - I would use Cars & Bids again!

I was selling a heavily modified vehicle that only true car enthusiasts would appreciate. Cars & Bids assisted with creating a professional posting and allowed me to reach interested buyers across the country - way more than I could have trying to sell it in my own. Their platform also provided an excellent method for potential buyers to interact with the seller. I'm very impressed!

Cars and bids was very helpful and accommodating throughout the process of selling my car. I believe their advice helped me get more money for my car than I expected.

Cars and Bids is the place to go if you're selling a unique vehicle like I had. It was a great seller experience knowing your vehicle went to the right buyer.

Cars and Bids is quickly becoming a formidable player in the online automotive auction market, and it is easy to see why. Their process caters well to those who have never been on either side of these transactions before, and their support system to help guide participants through is woven into every facet of the experience. Also, their offerings appeal to everyone looking, regardless of their budget or target vehicle type.

First discussed my car for auction in October and at the time I was thinking a no reserve. As I continued to work on the car details to ensure the new owner would have a vehicle as thoroughly inspected as possible, I got caught by the winter and unable to complete some projects. As the spring thaw came I began to engage in my projects like replacing thr headlight lenses, new wheels, tires, complete detail etc. As it became closer to completion I re-engaged with my account manager, eventually was ready to move ahead and scheduled my photoshoot with Snapper through CAB. I paid the $199 for my photoshoot through the link with CAB. Snapper contacted me directly, was provided a local photographer and scheduled a date for photos. As I was working on the marketing write-up of all the details of my specialty car, I was also providing details to my account manager. After an analysis of regular auctions and "no reserve" auction I discovered that the numbers proved "no reserve" auctions produced lower final bid results. I informed my CAB account manager that I decided on a reserve auction of $25,000 and was told I could not establish a reserve as they accepted my car with a "no reserve" auction. I told him that if that is the case I was withdrawing my car from CAB and was cancelling my photoshoot with Snapper. I contacted the photographer and cancelled the shoot with him and also through Snapper. Snapper contacted me to verify the cancellation. When I inquired about my $199 refund for the photoshoot my account manager said there was no refund for photoshoot. CAB's photoshoot process is a complete scam and you are better off getting your own photoshoot done. Even though YOU are the client, paying for the photoshoot and CAB is not involved, YOU don't receive the phtotos and DO NOT HAVE CONTROL over which photos you prefer. The photos are sent directly to CAB by the photographer and not to you, the actual client of Snapper. CAB made sure the photoshoot was cancelled with Snapper as their corporate office contacted me immediately to verify CAB's cancellation request. Even though the photoshoot was cancelled at least 3 days before the shoot, CAB kept the $199 for absolutely nothing they provided. If anything you would think Snapper would keep but the shoot was cancelled well within their required time. CAB actually takes control of EVERYTHING WITHOUT you having the ability to make or change decision on the type of auction, they "own" the photos from the photoshoot and you don't get any ability to consult on how your car is presented and auctioned. Keeping the $199 for a photoshoot they had nothing to do with except taking the money and you deal directly with Snapper is a typical move you would see by a sleazy used car salesman. Make sure you are thorough about what you want, expectations and your ability to make changes as you go along before your final listing. I was held to a choice of a "no reserve" auction when we discussed 6 months before I was finally ready to list with CAB and was not allowed to change my mind. They are NOT Sotheby's and BAT (bringatrailer.com) has a much larger base and success.
