Horrible Timing

With an hour left when I was just outbid the app stopped letting me login.

Stupid comment scrolling

Unfortunately this app still has a scrolling issue in the comments. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app but it is still awful. You’re better off using a browser.

Auctions are NON STOP

A great platform with so many options for the Automotive Enthusiast! Something for everyone.

The good old days…

I remember when BAT was a website rather than a “fancy” app. Sure it had some quirks but it worked. This app consistently freezes and has issues scrolling. If I didn’t love the cars and the comments so much I would have never continued using the app. I stayed on the website as long as I could but its performance is now worse than the app.

FAQ

What kind of vehicles can I find on Bring a Trailer Auctions?

You can find a wide variety of classic, collector, and enthusiast vehicles. This includes off-roaders, track cars, domestic and foreign makes, motorcycles, vintage RVs, re-creations, kit cars, boats, and automobilia. The platform aims to mirror an eclectic taste in vehicles.

How does the bidding process work?

Bidding is transparent with no surprise fees. The buyer fee is 5% of the final bid price, with a minimum of $250 and a maximum of $7,500. Any additional dealer fees required by the seller will be clearly stated in the listing. The app offers sniping protection, extending the auction clock by two minutes each time a bid is placed at the end.

Is the app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use for browsing and bidding. The monetization comes from buyer fees on successful auction purchases. While the description doesn't explicitly detail in-app purchases for features, the presence of ads suggests a 'free with in-app purchases' model where ads might be removable or premium features could be offered.

What are the benefits of the community on Bring a Trailer?

Bring a Trailer has a knowledgeable and active community of over 900,000 users and 400,000 registered bidders. This community helps vet each listing, allowing potential buyers to bid with confidence. You can easily tag other users in comment threads to keep conversations going.

How can I stay updated on auctions I'm interested in?

The app provides custom alerts and notifications, including push notifications and an Activity Feed. You can stay up to date on your favorite topics, receive updates when a seller adds photos, when your favorite models go live, or when you've been outbid. You can also save auctions, makes, models, categories, eras, and origins to your Watchlist.
