The rumor: what’s MOTA Auction really like? Didn’t end up selling, but “worth trying”

The key points to watch are
your “desired sale price” and “cancellation fees.” As long as you’re careful about those, “everything else is free.”

I didn’t end up selling, but I think it’s worth looking into.
The trick with this auction is
“setting your desired sale price as high as possible,” and that makes it easier.

Give it a try for reference.

MOTA Auction
↑If you go through the normal screen, it becomes a buyback. You can also go from here, no problem.
In the case of a buyback, it’s only dealers near you, so price-wise you’re at a real disadvantage.
It’s better to apply for the auction and compete against dealers nationwide.

After contact, just leave it to the appraiser on your scheduled appointment date.

The vehicle appraisal and photography takes 30 to 40 minutes.
The listing setup and settings are handled through a consultation.
It’s good to block off about an hour total.

We “are weak to the word ‘free’ and also feel fear at the word ‘free.'”
In the conversation, the word “fee” comes up,
but basically “cancellation fee” is how to think of it.

• You set a desired price but don’t sell even though it exceeds it
• You don’t sell after the sale is finalized

• You set a desired price but don’t sell even though it exceeds it


As for your desired sale price, it’s good to set it as high as possible.
When the auction ends, they call you with the final price.
If you’re happy with that amount, you just go ahead and sell.
I think it’s better to leave this setting off.

• You don’t sell after the sale is finalized


After you’ve signed a sales contract,
“I changed my mind and don’t want to sell” or “an acquaintance showed up willing to pay more” —that could happen, right?
In this case too, a cancellation fee applies, so be careful.

What happens after the sale is decided?

I didn’t end up selling, so I’m not entirely sure, but basically it should be smooth sailing.
There’s a possibility that some necessary documents will come up, so there might be a bit of hassle there.
*Like a certified copy of your seal.

Cars do require more documents and procedures than motorcycles, so there’s definitely more hassle.
Selling a motorcycle through KatieChecks was incredibly simple.
Still, we’ve entered such a convenient era that
I think middleman-type operations will decrease going forward.

So what’s the verdict? If you want to know the price, it’s worth trying.

Basically, since it’s an auction, the price will fluctuate depending on timing and circumstances.
“If it sells high, I’m glad I tried” is what you’d think, and “if it’s low, too bad” is what you’d feel.

The worst case is “you set your desired price too low,” the contract goes through at that amount,
and then you cancel and get hit with a fee.
If you don’t listen carefully and read carefully, “wait, there’s a fee?!”

—if you just go “yeah, yeah” without really listening, you’ll regret it, so be careful.

“Set your desired sale price as high as possible” and “don’t waver after the sale is decided.”
That’s it.
If you do that, it’s basically free, so you might as well check your car’s market value once.
