Why buy using The Collectables?

Benefits of buying through The Collectables

The Collectables is the online auction house for and by car enthusiasts, where you’ll find cars you don’t need, but still want. For buyers, this offers the following advantages:

Strict pre-selection. We only offer unique, special cars – cars you don’t need, but still want. Ranging from a Peugeot 205 GTI to a Ferrari. We apply a pre-selection: honest cars with a documented history in original condition. Quality over quantity.

Presentation. The Collectables are presented in a detailed and transparent way. With an average of 150 photos, an honest description and optionally a video.    

Convenience. Everything from your lazy chair: easy bidding, optional viewing, and always supported by our team.

Personal. A boutique online auction house in the higher segment. We support you with a small, dedicated team. Questions? We're here for you.

Independent. The Collectables only auctions third-party cars. We only select cars that make us happy - not cars we want to get rid of.

Extensive experience. As both buyer and seller. So we know how to best support both sides of the table as an intermediary.

Viewing & inspection. Want to see the car or have it inspected before placing a bid? No problem – all sellers have agreed to this in advance. That’s also why we run the auction for at least a week, including a weekend. This gives you enough time to schedule an appointment.

Price. You decide what you bid, and thanks to the auction mechanism, the price will be in line with the market. In almost all cases, this will be lower than the price you would pay at a dealer, specialist or trader for a comparable Collectable.

Because The Collectables is an online platform, we can keep our costs – and therefore your commission – low. These costs are clearly shown when placing a bid: you know exactly what you’re paying.

Transparent. You see exactly what is being bid on a car, but we also show the history, signs of use and any flaws. All to prevent disappointment afterwards.
