Simple. Transparent.
Fair to both sides.
Whether you're selling your car or hunting for a bargain, here's exactly how it works.
For Buyers
Bidding in 4 steps.
Register & verify your NIC
Sign up with Google or email in seconds. Upload your NIC photo for verification. A person checks it, and the photo is deleted from our systems 90 days after upload.
Browse vehicles & parts
Our team reviews every listing, and sellers declare the condition themselves, so plan to inspect in person before you pay. Filter by vehicle type (car, SUV, bike, truck, three-wheeler…), parts category, condition, price range, year, fuel type and more.
Bid live within the approved range
Bidding within the seller's approved price range is free. Each new bid must be at least the next bid shown on the lot. Want to bid above the seller's max? A one-off fee per auction applies — this proves your bid is serious.
Connect & complete the deal
If you win, confirm within 24 hours with a deposit, refunded when you collect the vehicle. The seller can then unlock your details and open a private chat to arrange payment and handover. Inspect the vehicle in person before paying. We don't take a commission on the sale — what you bid is what you pay.
For Sellers
Selling in 5 steps.
Pick what you're selling
Whole vehicle (car, SUV, van, motorcycle, three-wheeler, truck, lorry, bus, pickup, tractor, heavy machinery, boat) or vehicle part (engine, body, interior, electrical, tires, suspension, accessories).
Add photos & details
Up to 10 photos and a description (English + සිංහල). Year, make, model, mileage, fuel, transmission, registration. Bilingual listings get more interest.
Pick a valuation range
We compute an indicative price range based on year, mileage and condition. Accept it or set your own range (extra review). Pick how long the auction runs: 1, 3, 5 or 7 days.
We review & approve
Our team reviews every listing. Once approved, your auction goes live at the agreed time and runs for the duration set at approval.
Unlock offers after the auction
When your auction ends with at least one bid, you can pay a one-time fee to reveal bidder details and start a private chat with any of them. No commission on the sale.
Fee Structure
No commission. Ever.
Two small fees and one refundable deposit. We never take a cut of the sale price. The cards show the amounts for cars; the table has bikes and parts.
LKR 250
Above-max bid fee
If you want to bid above the seller's approved maximum, you pay this once for that auction. This stops spam and shows you're serious. Bidding within the range is always free.
Non-refundable · One-time per auction
LKR 500
Reveal & chat fee
After your auction ends with bids, you pay this to see all bidder names and phone numbers, and open a private chat with each one to negotiate.
Non-refundable · One-time per auction
Free
Confirmation deposit
Won an auction? Confirm within 24 hours with this deposit so the seller knows you're serious. If you don't, the lot passes to the next bidder.
