What's a pre bid?

Our auctions run for either five or seven days with each auction spending another five or seven additional days respectively in a pre-live state. Bids can be placed on auctions that are in this pre-live state but these bids will be sealed, meaning that they are not publicly visible. Only the physical number of bids is shown at this stage.

Once the auction goes live the top pre-bid amount is then displayed as the first actual bid on the listing. All pre-bid applicable cars can be found in the “Starting Soon” section here.
