# What is “Make an offer” and how does it work?

If an auction vehicle doesn’t sell, it may be converted into a “Make an offer” listing. This will retain all of the details of the auction listing but replace the bidding functionality with an offering system whereby potential buyers can make an offer on the vehicle.

To take the hassle out of the whole process and to prevent any unnecessary squabbling we'll automatically decline anything less than 70% of the asking price so only offers that are worth considering will be accepted. 

![Make\_an\_Offer](https://help.carandclassic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Make_an_Offer.png?width=688&height=458&name=Make_an_Offer.png)Make an offer listings include a “Make an offer” button. Simply click on this and enter the amount you’d like to offer and the seller will either accept, decline or counter. Easy peasy.

If you don’t have a Car & Classic account with a registered bank card you’ll be prompted to set one up at this point.
