Collecting Cars Reviews 

It was very easy to set up as a bidder. The detailed images of the vehicles cover every and anything.
The auction however was due to close at 15:35 at which point I was the highest bidder. Buds then continued to be placed all the way to 15:48, which cost me an additional AED20K on the purchase price.
If an auction is due to end at 15:35, that is when it should end.

Prompt response to questions, and available to talk too.

Very responsive and helpful when my bank decided to block my bid with 1 minute to go in the auction. Made it possible for me to get my bid in !!

I feel it’s important to warn anyone thinking about listing a vehicle with Collecting Cars to read the terms and conditions extremely carefully before agreeing to anything.

In my case, I decided to cancel the listing before the auction even went live. I assumed there would be some sort of cooling-off period or cancellation option, especially as the vehicle was never advertised publicly or sold through the platform.

However, I was still charged the full 6% seller fee — £3,200 — despite the listing never going live, and the company refused to refund it.
They emailed me the invoice and when I checked my bank the funds were taken!
They have your bank details when you fill out the auction forms!

To be fair, this is apparently covered in their terms and conditions, but the wording is buried within around 10 pages of small print which many people may not fully appreciate before signing up.

I’m not disputing that it may technically be in the contract, but I do think the cancellation charges should be made far clearer and more prominent upfront, especially when such large sums of money are involved.

Please make sure you fully understand the financial consequences before listing your vehicle.

Sold a number plate via Collecting Cars (not our first time using the site) . Whole process very well explained and curated by Hugh and Oliver. Buyer took a little while to pay but the team sorted that out too. All in all a 100% experience from these guys. Would certainly recommend no problem. Also achieved a great price!

Hassle free selling. Great service and always at hand for advice.

Sam was an excellent help when selling my car.

The first auction didn’t sell, as reserve was not net, we discussed the best way forward and due to high interest, thought it was worth putting it up again and with a few tweaks, this time it sold.

Sam was really helpful in understanding the psychology of auctions and helping come up with tactics which worked.

I’ve bought from CC and now sold with them and they are good at what they do.

I have already recommended friends.

Thank you.

Super smooth transaction. Would highly recommend selling plates with collecting cars. Customer service was superb too!

A good consignment experience and short lead time from photos to the listing going live.
Excellent comms throughout.

The USP is great. However, you need to be more precise with the marketing materials handed over to you. Mistakes were made with the video version and overall quality. Overall great cooperation, but it is in the final 1% where a difference can be made and the platform can be perfect.

the auction went trouble free along with payment and paperwork from seller, but getting the transport contacts has been a bit of a back N forth to know where to collect the vehicle and phone number

Sound, knowledgeable advice during the week the car was advertised. Good result for me.

Till now I can submit my review to 4 stars ,except ......( ? )

Selling my car on collecting cars was great, the process was really straightforward, I got a great result and Ethan my assigned support contact was always available and also provided proactive advice during the auction process. Highly recommend.

I had a very positive experience using Collecting Cars to auction my Bentley Bentayga. The entire process was smooth, professional, and well-managed from start to finish.

The team were friendly, responsive, and clearly very experienced in handling high-value vehicles. A special mention to Cathal Flannery, who was outstanding throughout — extremely professional, approachable, and a pleasure to deal with. He kept me well informed at every stage and made the whole experience straightforward and stress-free.

Overall, a very professional and hardworking team. I would highly recommend Collecting Cars to anyone looking to buy or sell a vehicle through auction.

Very easy to buy and sell with. All the transactions I’ve done have been smooth

I had an excellent experience working with Vin from Collecting Cars.

From start to finish, Vin was professional, transparent, and incredibly straightforward in his approach. I was assisting a client with the sale of a very unique and special Porsche 911 Turbo, and it wasn’t a standard vehicle to bring to market. Vin confidently recommended listing the car through Collecting Cars — and in hindsight, it was absolutely the right decision.

His knowledge of the market, combined with a clear understanding of how to position and present a car for auction, made a significant difference to the outcome. Throughout the process, he was responsive, honest, and highly competent, which gave both myself and my client a great deal of confidence.

For anyone struggling to sell their car privately or wanting to avoid low trade-in offers from dealerships, I strongly recommend considering Collecting Cars — and in particular, working with Vin. His expertise and guidance can truly help you achieve an outstanding result.

A genuine professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Very smooth process which was helped along every step by Cathal Flannery. The sales price exceeded expectations but it was the helpful positive experience along the way that is the reason I will use these guys again.

From start to finish Collecting cars Team made my car selling experience very enjoyable. Would highly recommend using this platform. A special thanks to Sam.
