How a curated sale works
Reviewed and inspected
The concierge reviews every coach, and an approved independent inspector checks it where it sits before it is accepted. Registered bidders can read the full report.
Qualified bidders only
Bidders register once and place a refundable $10,000 hold for each coach they bid on, through the seller's own payment account.
Secret reserve, soft close
A seller may set a secret reserve and lower it during the sale, but never raise it. Coaches without one wear a No reserve badge. A bid in the last 2 minutes puts 2 minutes back on the clock.
A concierge for every coach
Questions, viewings, paperwork and pickup go through the Motorcoach.direct concierge, and every answer is shown to all bidders.
Who pays whom
- Bidders pay Motorcoach.direct nothing. No fee to bid, no buyer's fee, and Motorcoach.direct never appears on a bidder's card statement.
- The winner pays the seller directly, by bank wire, or through Escrow.com if the buyer and the seller choose it. Motorcoach.direct never holds the money. Payment and escrow
- The seller pays Motorcoach.direct an entry fee, credited back if the coach sells, and a success fee after the buyer has paid. See the fees
