Frequently asked questions

We try to get out and look at as many cars as we can, but above all, detailed interviews are conducted with potential sellers about the car's history, origin, and condition. All available information about the object is then in the listing. The seller himself confirms with a binding signature that the information given in the auction listing is correct. Hence, it is the seller who certifies the condition and background of the listing. More about this in our general terms and conditions.

You can ask questions in the auction's comment field, where the seller is also given the opportunity to answer. To maintain a good tone and relevance, all comments are moderated by us. If a comment is considered to violate our comment rules, it will not be approved.

Bidders Highway does not disclose reserve prices, so as not to affect the bidding. You can see in an auction if the reserve price has been reached or not, but we will not show any information beyond that. All bidding on Bidders Highway is done through maximum bids so that you do not have to pay more than you have to. If your maximum bid is lower than the reservation price, you will place your maximum bid; if your maximum bid is higher than the reservation price, the bid will stay exactly at the reservation price.

If bids are received just towards the end of the auction, it will be extended by two minutes each time a bid is placed.

All bids are binding and it is you as the bidder who must make sure that you feel safe and comfortable to place a bid based on available information. More about this in our general terms and conditions.

You as the winning bidder will first pay your fee to Bidders Highway, once confirmed, Bidders Highway will digitally make an introduction between buyer and seller so that you can get each other's contact information, to decide how payment and delivery should take place.

Bidders Highway host auctions on our platform, but it is up to the bidder to create as good an idea of the object as possible before placing a binding bid. It is further up to the seller to sign off that the information given in the listing is correct and that nothing of material nature has been omitted.

If the object during inspection after completed purchase differs significantly from the description, the product is to be regarded as defective under sections 17 & 18 of the Purchase Act.

No, but Bidders Highway is happy to put you in contact with trusted freight companies for transportation.

If an auction ends without having reached its reserve, the highest bidder will be given the option to place a final bid. This bid will be set to the reserve, and the highest bidder has 24 hours to exercise their option. If they don't, the Seller may choose what happens: they can wait a while and re-list the car for a later auction, or they can keep their car.

The price you see when an auction has ended is the price the buyer pays the seller. In addition to this, the buyer pays a fee of 7.5% including VAT of the winning bid to Bidders Highway after the auction closes. This fee is limited to a maximum of SEK 75,000 and a minimum of SEK 3,750.
In addition to this there are no mark-ups or hidden fees.

The minimum raise of a bid is 1000 SEK.

For bidders outside Sweden, we recommend that you check the import rules that apply to your particular country. There you will also clearly see what documentation is needed from the seller of the car on Bidders Highway for the export to be possible.

You can always ask in the comment section if it is possible to come and look at the listing in person, but it is entirely up to the seller to grant a viewing. Buyers and sellers can not, however, initiate a separate negotiation on the spot as the item is handled exclusively by Bidders Highway during the ongoing auction.

Some of our lots are listed as BUY NOW. This means that the seller has chosen to put their car up for sale at a fixed price that guarantees a sale. These lots have no fixed time limit. Being the first to BUY NOW means you can buy the lot at its listed price.

Before an auction goes live, there is always the opportunity to place a so-called pre-bid of all lots. This is a binding bid and will be displayed in its total amount when the auction starts.

Max-bids are the bids you place when the auction has gone live and mean that you enter the maximum price you want to pay for the object and let your bid be raised automatically according to the standard bid increments if another bidder chooses to place a higher bid. This proceeds until your max-bid is reached.
