How It Works

To submit your car for sale, click the Sell tab in the header. From there, you will be guided through our vehicle submission form which helps us learn more about your vehicle and gather details like year, make, model, mileage, and VIN.

Once submitted, we will let you know if your vehicle has been accepted within two business days. We may ask for more information and get clarifications within this two-day period. If you are an agent for the seller, we will ask for a notarized letter from the seller authorizing you to be their agent.

At duPont REGISTRY Live, we primarily specialize in high quality 21st Century sports, exotic, and luxury vehicles. When considering whether to accept a vehicle for auction, we consider a range of factors such as the vehicle's condition, mileage, vehicle photos and information provided, including its history, market trends, and the reserve price requested by the seller.

After you submit your vehicle for consideration, our team will assess whether it is a good fit for our online auction. The process is simple, quick, and free of charge.

A Reserve Price is the minimum price that a vehicle can sell for on our site, while a No Reserve auction has no minimum price, indicating that it will sell to the highest bidder at the close of the auction.

We work with each seller to determine a mutually acceptable Reserve Price based on current market conditions, vehicle details, and other information about the car. We may ask for a lower Reserve Price before we agree to list the car for sale.

Once we have agreed on a Reserve Price we will provide you with an Irrevocable Bid which will guarantee the sale of your vehicle.

To do this they will request additional information about your vehicle, arrange for pickup, professional photography and an inspection, and prepare a draft of your auction listing for your approval. Once approved, they will select a convenient start date and time for your auction.

Upon acceptance of your vehicle and after the non-refundable listing fee is paid, a dedicated Auction Specialist will be assigned to you. This Auction Specialist will create the auction listing by utilizing your provided information and by verifying all pertinent details directly with you through phone and email communication. The Auction Specialist also coordinates with you on the pickup of your vehicle and will work on photography and inspection. Before your auction listing goes live, we will contact you to ensure accuracy and completeness.
