You have 4 purchase options on SmartAuction:
Place Bid
You can place manual bids during the daily live auction in $100 increments. For example, enter $7,300, not $7,225.
Autobid
With Autobid, you can set the maximum amount you're willing to pay for each vehicle. SmartAuction will then bid for you in $100 increments against any competing bids up to your Autobid price.
Buy Now
During or after the live auction, you can bypass the bidding process and purchase the vehicle immediately at the Buy Now price, when available. This is the fastest and most direct way to buy a vehicle on SmartAuction. Buyers can also purchase vehicles with Buy Now prices during evenings and weekends.
Make Offer
If the seller of the vehicle is willing to accept offers, select the Offer button, enter your offer and submit it.
