Too far. Wrong vehicle. No bandwidth today. Instead of turning the lead away for free, post it to the Auction Marketplace — local buyers bid live, the winner collects the vehicle, and you keep the spread.
Any quote you can't service — too far, wrong vehicle, no bandwidth — goes to auction in a few clicks. Set your starting bid, optional reserve, minimum increment, and how long it runs.
Eligible local buyers get an email and in-app alert the moment it's live. They bid on a public page with a live countdown — every new bid has to clear your minimum increment.
When the clock hits zero, the auction closes itself and selects the highest qualifying bid. Reserve not met — or nobody bid? It comes back to you unsold. No obligation, ever.
The winning buyer coordinates pickup directly and collects the vehicle themselves. No driver, no truck roll — you've already got your spread.
A car 40 km outside your service area, a body style you don't buy, a day you're already slammed — none of that has to mean walking away empty-handed. Post it, let the local network bid, keep the difference.
These numbers are for your own tracking — Quote Engine doesn't process payment between you and the buyer, same as any other pickup.
You don't have to chase every lead from scratch. The Auction Marketplace surfaces vehicles other yards already quoted but can't service — in your area, in real time.
No separate app, no new login for your customers — the Auction Marketplace lives right inside Quote Engine, for you and for the buyers in your network.
Set your starting bid, an optional reserve price, the minimum bid increment, and exactly how long the auction runs. Nothing posts without your numbers.
Buyers watch a live countdown on the public bid page. When time's up, the auction closes itself and picks the winning bid — no one has to be at a keyboard.
Every eligible local buyer gets an email and an in-app alert as soon as your auction goes live — the buyers who actually cover your area, not a mass blast.
See what you quoted the customer, the current winning bid, and the spread between them — updating live as bids come in. Always know exactly what you'd walk away with.
Auctions route to buyers who actually service that location — multi-location aware from the ground up, so a lead in one yard's territory doesn't ping buyers three towns over.
Every bid is logged with time and amount. Once an auction closes, the winning buyer coordinates pickup and collects the vehicle themselves — no driver, no truck roll, no extra step.
