How do I find out if a car has a reserve?

Unfortunately, the auction’s reserve price details are only revealed to us once we have successfully placed the highest bid. This policy ensures the integrity of the bidding process and maintains competitive fairness for all participants. For more insights on reserve prices and bidding strategies, visit our comprehensive guide at the Auction Resource Center.

Do all cars have a hidden reserve? Given that it’s not an absolute auction, I might be the highest bidder and still not win.

The presence of a reserve depends on the item. Should there be a reserve, and we emerge with the highest bid, the auction will notify us accordingly.
