Choosing Buy Now (sellers)

What is this?

Sell a unit at a fixed Buy Now price instead of by bidding. The first eligible dealer who confirms Buy Now buys it, and the purchase is binding on both sides.

How does it work?

  • In Auction preferences choose “Buy Now” and enter the Buy Now price (at least $100 CAD). Buyers see the price.
  • A Buy Now unit has no bidding, no reserve and no starting bid. Auction + Buy Now together is not offered.
  • RideAuction reviews the price with the rest of the unit; once approved, the sale type and Buy Now price are fixed for the auction.
  • Buy Now is open while the auction is open for bidding, until the lot’s close time.

What do I need to do?

  • Open the unit in Sell → Auction preferences, choose Buy Now and enter the Buy Now price, then submit for review.

What happens next?

When a dealer buys it you are notified (“Unit sold by Buy Now”) and the sale follows the normal steps: invoice, documents, release and settlement. If nobody buys it by the close, it closes unsold and stays yours.
