How Carnia's auction works
The auction site displays bidding for the
right-to-buy (or after inspection decline)
the vehicle being offered at the Lister’s
minimum acceptable price.The vehicle description (and the ad you responded to) state that minimum.Your bid is IN ADDITION to that amount.
For example… A car that the Lister has advertised at $10,000
Which has a current bid of $350,
the acquisition cost of that vehicle will be $10, 350. (10,000 + 350)
THIS IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE AUCTION.
This is a right-to-buy auction (1st-right-of-Refusal).
In essence, your bid makes the statement that if the vehicle is “as presented” I would be willing to pay:
Stated Min + My Bid.
Winning bidder has right to:
• Drive
• Mechanic InspectOn the auction site, be sure to note the auction's closing date and time. Providing your cell number at registration will insure you get details via text as the auction progresseses.
About Carnia
Carnia was created by a "car guy" with a side-hustle, who became frustrated with "all the work" required when marketing vehicles on Facebook and Craigslist.And in sharing his frustration he encountered, many people that said, "I'd never sell a car that way, ever!" -- particularly women.As someone who went to auctions often, he decided to test a hybrid system -- In contrast to an absolute auction, with its associated high-risk... why not create a "world" where zero buying obligation was created by being the high-bidder.Rather --- "winning" demonstrated only a willingness to purchase at a given price, if the information presented was accurate.In Carnia, people bid for the right to be the one who decides - after all the information is in-- do I want "this car"?Simple, hassle-free, clean and available to everyone.
