Free "What's It Worth" Valuation Report
Wondering what your vehicle is worth or how much to set your reserve price at? Our free valuation report can help set expectations and guide your thinking on a reserve price. Valuation reports are available free of charge to all registered users. Motonexus will search major auctions, online sales, and industry-leading valuation reports to provide you with a Low, Average, and High price. Condition is the most important factor in valuations. Simply send us a collection of photos and tell us what you know about the condition of your vehicle. We'll do the rest!

Your Vehicle Displayed on Our Home Page
The Motonexus home page is a slide show of customer vehicles. When you start a new auction, we'll put your best photo into the home page slide show.
​
Your Vehicle Displayed in Our Advertising
Motonexus runs continuous advertising on Facebook and other digital ad platforms. Every ad features a vehicle photo. When your auction starts, Motonexus will include your best photo in our digital advertising. Facebook, Google, and others place ads where they are most relevant, so we tag our ads to promote your auction to the right groups.
​
Personalized Category for Significant Collections
Motonexus categories enable buyers to find specific vehicles quickly. If you have a significant collection, we'll create a category just for your auctions. Let's say John Smith has 20 motorcycles to auction. Motonexus will create the "John Smith Collection" category so buyers can isolate their view to just the John Smith auction.

Motonexus doesn't decide when to auction your vehicle; that's up to you. You know when you're ready to sell, our job is to get you online and advertised as soon as possible. We'll review your auction, make or request any necessary changes, and get it live as quickly as possible.
Motonexus charges a buyer's premium fee to the Winning Bidder for using the Motonexus Digital Service. Our 5% fee is significantly lower than most live auction houses that charge 10% and more. Low fees help sellers get the best price for their vehicles.
​
Buyer's Premium Fees
-
5% calculated from the highest winning bid
example:
Final winning bid = $1,000
Buyer's Premium = 5% ($50)
Total cost to Winning Bidder = $1,050
(example above excludes any applicable sales or use taxes, transportation and other costs involved in completing the transfer of the auction item)​
We do NOT tack on an additional fee to cover credit card processing.
​
Most auctions have a minimum buyer's premium fee so that if the vehicle sells for a low price, the auction house still collects a minimum fee. Motonexus charges 7% to the winning bidder regardless of the sale price. We do this to encourage bidding.
​
Some auction sites reject vehicles because the seller asked for a reserve or set a reserve price that the auction site thought was too high. No reserve auctions are great for the auction site because it guarantees their fees. We think reserve prices are something that the seller should control. Our free valuation report may include a recommendation on setting a reserve price, but we will not reject an auction because the seller included a reserve price.
​
Write Your Own Description or Ask Us To Help
Other auction sites and live auctions write the vehicle description for you. Often the description leaves out something the seller thought was important or includes flowery language that the seller isn't comfortable with. Worst of all, as a seller, you're waiting weeks or even months for your vehicle to get listed. In an ever-changing marketplace, we think it's important to get your vehicle listed as quickly as possible. We're always here to help. If you don't feel comfortable or have the time to write a description, a Motonexus expert is always here for you. Once you submit a vehicle, we'll be able to edit your listing before it goes live. Together we can craft the perfect description for your vehicle.
​
We run seven-day auctions, and on occasion ten-day auctions.
