I like the fact the auction goes live as soon as all the relevant information has been gathered. I like the way the 48 HR clock adds an extra dimension to the sale. I think you could push the Escrow s... See more

I had a really positive experience working with Cathal at Collecting Cars.
From start to finish he was professional, calm, and very attentive throughout the process. He made everything feel straightforward and handled things in a way that gave me confidence at every stage.
We also achieved a great price for the car, which I was really pleased with.
Overall, a smooth and well-managed experience. Would happily work with him again.

Lots of beat up european cars that are badly misrepresented and sold to USA and other foreign buyers , you can't compare this site to bat, they are basically hands off, bought a car from there, turned out it had a bad prior repair which was very obvious, not disclosed by seller- The seller refused to even communicate after, and collecting cars would not help in the situation even when they got a 6% fee over $8,000. Of course when buying in an online auction you need to do your own due dillegence, but you also count on the site updating the listing if new info is found, asking for proper photos and if a problem arisis to help out, i mean what else is the high fee for?
If anyone wants more info just shoot me a message
Hi, recently I advertised my 911 for sale. I was dealt with by Fynn. During the process, from initial first contact to eventual sale I was kept up to date by Fynn. Who even contacted me post sale to make sure I was happy. The process was incredibly smooth. I would definitely use this platform again.

I decided to try Collecting Cars to auction my vehicle, hoping for a smooth, professional process to reach serious buyers. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences I’ve had.
They made enthusiastic promises upfront about their platform’s reach and ability to sell the car at a good price. However, during the auction, they repeatedly pressured me to lower my reserve or accept bids quickly, seeming more interested in closing the deal fast for their buyer’s fees than in securing a fair outcome for me as the seller.
Despite that pressure, the car failed to sell—even at the lowest bid levels offered by bidders. The auction simply ended without meeting any acceptable price, leaving my car unsold and me stuck with it for weeks afterward.
What followed was complete radio silence: no follow-up calls, no feedback, no updates, and no effort to keep me informed or explore next steps. It felt like once the auction fizzled, I was abandoned.
On top of the failed sale, I was charged $300 for their “professional photography” service. They hyped it as something worth far more (around $1,500 in value, per their claims), but it delivered little benefit—especially since the car didn’t sell. This fee was non-refundable and felt like an unnecessary expense for poor results.
Overall, the inner workings seem geared toward quick turnarounds at the seller’s expense rather than genuine seller support. If you’re considering listing your car here, think twice—the pressure tactics, lack of communication after a failed auction, and upfront costs with no guaranteed sale make it a risky choice. I strongly advise looking at more transparent and seller-focused alternatives. Avoid if you want to protect your interests..
Although we never made reserve they worked with the bidders to get an acceptable figure.

Really really easy way of selling. Collecting cars know their stuff, have refined the process and made the whole experience easy and tailored to the sellers needs. Sam from CC was always contactable, easy to work with and kept me informed at every stage. From initial enquiry, professional photos, marketing and sale, it has to be one of the easiest and faff free ways of selling.

I recently sold my 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda California Coupe through Collecting Cars, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
The whole process was seamless, professional and extremely well managed. This platform attracted a knowledgeable audience of genuine enthusiasts, which gave me great confidence that the car would reach the right buyers. The listing was presented beautifully, with excellent attention to detail and the auction generated strong interest throughout.
A special thank you to Therese Ghosn for her outstanding support. She was incredibly helpful, responsive and professional from start to finish. Therese's guidance made the whole process effortless and reassuring, and her communication was first-class every step of the way.
The sale concluded successfully and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Collecting Cars has created a fantastic marketplace for special vehicles and I would absolutely recommend this platform to anyone looking to buy or sell a collector car.
Thank you again for such a positive experience.

Had a very good experience with the process of putting my Ferrari for sale. When the auction finished, buyer asked for further information, thereafter I have not heard anything back from Collecting cars, despite many Call”s, e-mails and messages.
Simple process from start to finish would definitely use the site again
