To Search for a vehicle, please choose a category. This will show you all vehicles in that category, e.g. ALL Cars. Any additional selections that you make will act as a filter and will reduce the number of items that you are shown. E.g. if you select the sub category Ford, you will see ONLY Ford Cars. Please note that you ONLY need to click when applying the distance or price filters, not when selecting categories or sub categories.
We at Ready Steady Autos do not believe in confusing you with several
fees
To list your item simply click on the
“Sell” button on the header navigational bar or the “Sell” link which is at the
bottom of every page. The listing process is split up into several main
sections, notably:
Category selection
Item Details
Settings
Shipping and Payment
Preview
Finish
The listing process is
developed in such a way that you are guided through every step seamlessly. Your
choices can be revised at any time, if you want to revise something you have
entered on a previous page, you can do so by using the “Previous Step”
navigation button.
Category selection
The first part of the
process is to choose the category that you are going to list your item in. If
you would like to suggest a category for us to incorporate into the site, you
may do this here by clicking the appropriate link.You can also suggest a category to us at any
time through the suggest a category segment of the
“Selling” section in the “Members Area”.
Item Details
On the item details page
you first need to choose your listing type.There are 2 types:
Full Listing - Standard
auction item that bids can be placed on. You can add a reserve price and also
include a "Buy Now" price if you want to.
Buy Now Item - Create a
“Buy Now” only item. No bids will be able to be placed.
This page is also where you
enter details about your vehicle.We
suggest that you provide as much information as you can in the item title and
description areas and complete all the pre-filled fields so that you give
potential buyers as much information as possible.Please use the “Known Defects” section to
note any dents, scratches or any defects / issues that the vehicle may
have.
If you have a voucher code
to redeem this can be entered in the “Vouchers Settings” section which is at
the end of this page.
Settings
On the Settings page you
can set the following:
Auction type – You can choose
either a standard auction (this is a single quantity auction, i.e. 1 car)
or dutch auction (a dutch
auction enables you to list a multiple quantity auction).
Currency - You can select your
preferred auction currency using the drop down menu available (GBP is the
only option currently available).
Quantity - This field is only
active if listing a dutch auction.
Auction Starts At - This
requires you to enter the minimum bid you are willing to accept, you can
also set a reserve price to ensure you do not sell the item for this
amount. Please see below for more information on this.
Reserve Price - Enabling a
reserve price affectively means you will not sell the item for less than
the reserve amount set, for example you can set the start price at £50.00
and the reserve price at £500.00 (which means that you will only accept
winning bids of £500.00 or more) should a bid be placed for £499.99 the
item will close without a winner.We do not charge you extra for adding a reserve to your item.
Buy Now – “Buy Now” allows you
to set an amount you are willing to sell the item for straight out. For
example you can set the start price to £100.00 but offer interested
parties the option to buy the item immediately for £1000.00.You can also place a reserve price on
your item when using the “Buy Now” option.We do not charge you extra for adding a buy now price to your item.You can also list “Buy Now” only
auctions, these auctions remove all bidding options meaning the listing
can only be purchased for a set amount. This option is set in the “Listing
Type” field on the previous page.
Offer Range - You can set a
price bracket in which you are willing to consider offers, for example, if
you set the price brackets from 500.00 to 600.00 interested parties will
be able to offer you an amount within these brackets, you can opt whether
to accept or decline these offers at any time via the open auctions table
in the “Selling” section of the “Members Area”.We do not charge you extra for adding an
offer range to your item.
Bid increment – Our default bid
increments are as per the table below.If you would prefer to not use these, you may set your own
customised bid increments here.We
do not charge you extra for adding your own customised bid increments to
your item.

for it to be live for or you also have the option to define your own
custom start / end time.We do not
charge you extra for customising the start or end times.

this option, bidders on this auction will be hidden to site users, and
only you (the owner of the auction) will be able to see the usernames of
the bidders. Bid amounts will still be visible.We do not charge you extra for private
auctions.

your item you can either upload images from your local computer or enter
the URL of image(s) hosted elsewhere.You may upload up to 10 images for no extra charge.

you can opt to have your items automatically re-listed for you.You may do this for a maximum of 99
times.We do not charge you any
extra to re-list your item.

set your collection / delivery and payment requirements / options.There is a space to enter any additional
collection, delivery and / or payment details that apply to this item.Please always give as much information as
possible. You have to select at least one delivery method (“Buyer Must Collect”
is one of these).You also have to
select at least one payment method, this can be a direct payment through the
site if you have set this up (i.e. through PayPal or Google Checkout) or an
offline payment (cheque, bankers draft etc...) or you can specify that you are
willing to accept both direct and offline payment methods.Please select all the options that buyers can
use to pay you.
Preview
Proceeding on, you can then
review the listing and make changes if required (please note you can use the
previous step buttons to do this now and / or you can also edit your listing
once it is live, via the members area) we recommend that you do this now as
what you may edit will be limited once bids have started to be placed on the
item.

the terms and conditions again.By
clicking on the “List Now” or the "Save as Draft" buttons you are

and conditions that you agreed to when registering.You can access the terms and conditions at
any time via the terms and conditions link which is at the bottom of every
