💰 The figures shared below don’t count any other sales such as car seats, memorabilia etc… All online auction sites are analyzed to put this leaderboard together.

I only include websites that have sold 5+ vehicles in the chart below.

The numbers really tell the story here folks. While our top 4 keep crushing it, look at these sell-through rates - Hemmings at 26%, PCarMarket at 20%, and others even lower. And remember, we're not talking about small-time operations here. I mean, Hagerty dumped millions into their platform and these are the results they're getting? Ouch.

Total sales hit $6.7m yesterday, which sounds decent until you see how it's distributed. It just shows that selling cars at auction isn't the easy money everyone thinks it is. Even with serious backing and infrastructure, if you're not one of the top players, you're struggling to move metal consistently.

Makes you wonder what it's really going to take to compete with the big boys, doesn't it?

I was watching Cars & Bids yesterday when a failed Wraith auction caught my eye. Got me thinking about Rolls-Royce sales on the platform and, honestly, they're not exactly flying off the digital shelf. That led me down a rabbit hole - what are they actually crushing it with?

Funny enough, I remember writing last year about how they needed to get more Rivians on the platform. Well, Rivian landed at #19 for most popular makes this year - decent showing, but not exactly setting the world on fire.

Let's dig into what's really moving on C&B...

Looking at BMW's dominance on C&B, I got curious about which models are really bringing home the bacon. Let's break it down...

Since the 3 Series is clearly king of the hill here, I wanted to see which generations are really hitting the sweet spot with buyers - and what they're willing to pay for them. Let's look at those numbers...

Finally let's see if there's any rhyme or reason to when these 3 Series are moving - do summer months get the cash flowing, or are winter warriors snagging the deals?

So remember that wild SBX chart from yesterday? You all came out swinging with questions - and yes, that chart was 100% legit (though who they're measuring against is anyone's guess).

So we asked you in a poll ‘What do you think is the most important factor for an auction platform?’

And here’s the results with a selection of your comments.
