The seller and winning bidder will receive each other’s contact information via email from Gas and Gavel. The speed in which the seller will get paid will depend upon various factors, such as responsiveness of buyer/seller. Some ways to expedite payment from buyer is the the seller to have the certificate of title in hand, provide a copy/picture to buyer, have any loans paid off on car before sale and have a bill of sale prepared. We recommend the seller send the buyer a photo of the certificate of title and a bill of sale prior to the buyer sending payment.

Yes sellers can sell their car with or without reserve. A car sold with reserve will only be sold if the winning bidder price is higher than the reserve price set by you the seller. We will work directly with you the seller to come up with the best reserve price to get your car sold quickly and at a fair market price.
A no reserve auction means that the car will be sold at the highest bid, regardless of how low or high that bid may be.

Never share your reserve price with buyers. This information should only be known between you the seller and our staff here at Gas and Gavel.

No, vehicles listed on Gas & Gavel are for sale only and exclusively on this auction website. Any attempts by either the buyer or seller to make a deal outside of the auction will result in permanent banning from our website.

We charge all buyers an automatic 4% buying commission fee at the time of bidding. If the buyer backs out of the sale, we will charge them that amount and will at our discretion ban that member from our website. This provides incentive to all buyers to follow through with the purchase and send payment in full to the seller.
If the winning buyer backs out of the sale, we will immediately contact the 2nd highest bidder and will work with him/her and you the seller to complete the sale.

We will contact you the seller and the highest bidder , and will work with both of you to come up with a sale price.
