Auction<\/h1>\n

Choosing the best audience for your auction is essential when it comes to making sales as smooth and simple as possible. OPENLANE Sell gives you two ways to auction cars: open auctions and private auctions.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Open Auctions<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

In an open auction, you sell to OPENLANE\u2019s huge, international network of more than 125,000 eager buyers. Putting your vehicles in front of this huge audience is <\/span>an easy way<\/span> to attract the best prices out there\u2014be that in your own country, or across borders. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You have the flexibility to sell through \u2018Dynamic<\/a>\u2019 or \u2018Buy Now<\/a>\u2019 auctions or place your cars in a 24\/7 stock sale<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span> This allows you to tailor your selling strategy to fit your needs, maximizing your chances of achieving great results.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

OPENLANE makes international sales as easy as selling locally and fully <\/span>manage<\/span> your auction for you and <\/span>present<\/span> you with the highest bid. After that, you choose whether to assign the vehicle to the highest bidder, abandon the sale, or negotiate with the bidder to reach a new agreement\u2014all from within your self-service portal.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Community Auctions<\/h2>\n

Community auctions offer you a smooth and efficient way to sell to private communities that you create. This enables you to directly target buyers you know are interested in the types of vehicles you\u2019re selling. Rather than needing to individually approach buyers to inform them of auctions they\u2019re likely to participate in, you reach your whole network with one click of a button.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only available to OPENLANE Sell members, community auctions give you complete control. You decide who to invite into your communities\u2014as many buyers as you like! The number of members is unlimited, and you set and manage their access settings yourself. You choose the auction type, and you define all the details of your auction: dates, duration, start price etc.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Your benefit <\/span>in a nutshell<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

OPENLANE Sell\u2019s \u2018Auction\u2019 module gives you more flexibility. By choosing the best audience, you <\/span>optimise<\/span> every sale.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
