Live auction or online-only site?
There are two kinds of online classic car auction, and they work differently.
| Question | Live auction with online bidding (OK Classics) | Online-only listing sites |
|---|---|---|
| How it runs | A real auctioneer and a real room on sale day, with online bidders bidding alongside | Each car is listed for a set number of days, with no live sale |
| When it ends | When the hammer falls | When the timer runs out |
| Seeing the car | Preview every lot in person before the sale | Usually photos and video |
| Who you bid against | Online bidders and the people in the room | Other online bidders |
If you like to see a car in person, or to feel the room before you bid, a live auction with online bidding gives you both.
What it costs to buy online
No surprises. Here is everything you pay on top of your winning bid.
| Charge | Online, on our bidding site | In person |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer's premium | 11.5% of the hammer price | 10% |
| Processing and title fee | $85 per vehicle | $85 per vehicle |
| Sales tax | Memorabilia only | Memorabilia only |
| Payment due | Within 48 hours | End of sale day |
The online rate is for bids placed on our own bidding site, okclassicsonlinebids.com. Bidding through another online marketplace? That site's buyer's premium and terms apply, so check them before you bid.
Example: you win a car on our bidding site at a $20,000 hammer price. You pay $20,000 + $2,300 premium + $85 fee = $22,385. There is no sales tax on vehicles at the sale.
Pay by card, wire transfer, cashier's check or any of the other methods in our auction terms.
Not just cars: automobilia online
Every sale also brings porcelain and tin signs, gas and oil advertising and garage collectibles, and all memorabilia sells at no reserve. It is in the same online catalog and you bid on it the same way. Oklahoma sales tax applies to memorabilia.
Buying a car you have not driven
Our honest advice for bidding from a distance:
- Every lot is sold as-is. Read the full description and look through every photo.
- Come to the preview if you can, or send someone you trust. The preview days and hours are on the auction page.
- Call us with questions before you bid: 405-481-9411, Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM.
- Check that the car can be titled where you live. A lot sold on a bill of sale says so in its description.
- Know the reserve. A No Reserve lot sells to the highest bidder. Other lots need to meet the seller's minimum.
Auction words, in plain English
- Hammer price
- The winning bid when the auctioneer's hammer falls. Fees are added on top of it.
- Buyer's premium
- A percentage added to the hammer price: 10% in person, 11.5% online through our bidding site.
- Reserve
- The seller's confidential minimum. If bidding does not reach it, the lot does not sell on the block.
- No reserve
- The lot sells to the highest bidder, whatever the price. All memorabilia sells at no reserve.
- Last chance lane
- Where a car that did not meet its reserve goes after the block. Our team works to put buyer and seller together while the room is still full.
- Preview
- The days before the sale when every lot is on view in person, so you can inspect before you bid.
