No hassle. Unnecessary test drives? Discussions at your doorstep? Last-minute haggling? Trade-ins or “I still need to sell my own car”? All a thing of the past.
No commission. Selling via The Collectables is free. You receive the full sales price. Only the buyer (highest bidder) pays a commission. As the seller, you only contribute to the marketing costs. You can choose from four packages.
Great reach. Thanks to our unique content and exposure, your Collectable is seen by a wide audience of car enthusiasts. We've noticed that over 70% of our cars are bought by enthusiasts who weren’t specifically looking for a particular type of car.
We also list your car on platforms like Classic Driver, Classic Trader, Elferspot, AutoScout24, and AutoTrader—so those who are looking for your exact model will find it too. Both nationally and internationally.
Fast. Your auction is completed within 2 weeks—so you know exactly where you stand. For comparison: selling a standard car (like a VW Golf) takes about 30 days. In the exclusive/sports car segment we specialize in, this can take 6 months or more.

Quality over quantity. We prefer 10 great cars with history over 30 shiny ones without a story. That way, every Collectable gets the attention it deserves.
Surrounded by Collectables. Your car is showcased alongside other exceptional cars, attracting the right enthusiasts—including those who didn’t know they were interested in your car.
Personal. We're a small, dedicated team of petrolheads with experience on both sides of the counter. We’re not aiming to be the biggest—just the best. Feel free to call or email us.
Time. Selling a car takes time and energy. We take as much of that off your hands as possible.
Transparant. You can track exactly what people are bidding on your Collectable.
Fair, market-based price. Together, we determine the minimum selling price (the ‘reserve’). The auction, and the dynamic of supply and demand, will take care of the rest.
Safe. Your Collectable stays in your possession, at the location you prefer, throughout the auction process.
