The Services

Street Car Market is a curated online auction platform specializing in modified and enthusiast vehicles. We connect sellers who wish to auction their vehicles with buyers who wish to bid on them.

Auctions

Each vehicle listed on Street Car Market is offered through a time-limited auction. Auction listings include a starting price, reserve price (if applicable), and a set end time. All listed prices are in U.S. dollars.

Reserve Price

Some auctions may include a reserve price, the minimum amount the seller is willing to accept. The reserve price is not disclosed to bidders. Sellers may request a reduction to their reserve price during the listing period by contacting Street Car Market via email at support@streetcarmarket.com. If the auction ends without the reserve being met, the platform may initiate the Blind Offer process described in Section 8.

Auction Extensions

To prevent last-second sniping, any bid placed within the final two minutes of an auction will automatically extend the auction timer by two minutes from the time of that bid. Extensions may occur multiple times.

Auction Outcomes

An auction may end in one of three ways:

• Sold — The reserve was met and a winning bidder is declared. Both parties will receive each other's contact information to finalize the transaction.
• Reserve Not Met — Bids were placed but the reserve price was not reached. The platform will initiate the Blind Offer process.
• No Bids — The auction ended without any bids. The seller's $99 listing fee will be fully refunded.

Bidding

All bids placed on Street Car Market are legally binding offers to purchase the listed vehicle at the bid amount, subject to these Terms. By placing a bid, you represent that you have the intent and financial means to complete the purchase if you are the winning bidder.

Bid Increments

Minimum bid increments are enforced based on the current high bid:

Authorization Hold

When you place a bid, Street Car Market places an authorization hold on your payment method equal to 5% of your bid amount, subject to a minimum of $250 and a maximum of $7,500. This hold reserves the funds but does not charge your card. If you are outbid, your hold will be released. If you win the auction, your hold will be applied toward your Buyer's Fee as described in Section 7.

Bid Restrictions

You may not bid on your own listing. You may not place a bid equal to or lower than the current high bid. Once you are the highest bidder, you may not place another bid until you have been outbid.

All bids are final and non-retractable. Once placed, a bid cannot be cancelled or withdrawn. Do not bid unless you are prepared to complete the purchase at your bid amount plus the applicable Buyer's Fee.

Buyer's Fee

If you are the winning bidder on a vehicle listed through Street Car Market, you agree to pay a Buyer's Fee equal to 5% of the final sale price, subject to a minimum of $250 and a maximum of $7,500. The Buyer's Fee is displayed on each auction listing and is non-refundable.

When you place a bid, Street Car Market places an authorization hold on your payment method equal to the applicable Buyer's Fee. This hold reserves the funds but does not charge your card. When the auction closes, all authorization holds are released except for the winning bidder's, which is charged as payment for the Buyer's Fee.

Our system charges the Buyer's Fee in one of two ways. You will either receive a single charge for the full Buyer's Fee, or your original authorization hold will be captured and you will receive a second charge for the remaining balance, together equaling exactly 5% of your winning bid. Either way, the total amount charged is always exactly 5% of your final winning bid, subject to the minimum and maximum amounts above.

If you have any questions about charges on your statement, please contact us at support@streetcarmarket.com before disputing a charge with your bank. All Buyer's Fees are non-refundable.

Blind Offer System

When an auction ends with bids but the reserve price is not met, Street Car Market initiates the Blind Offer process as a final opportunity for the buyer and seller to reach an agreement.

How It Works

Both the highest bidder and the seller are invited via email to simultaneously submit confidential numbers, the buyer's highest offer and the seller's lowest acceptable price. Neither party will see the other's number before submitting. Both parties have 24 hours from the auction's close to submit. If either party fails to submit within the window, the Blind Offer process expires and no transaction takes place.

If the buyer's offer meets or exceeds the seller's number, a Final Resolution Price (FRP) is calculated at the midpoint between both submitted amounts. If the numbers do not overlap, no deal is made and no charges are applied.

Blind Offer Buyer's Fee

If a Final Resolution Price is established, the buyer agrees to pay a reduced Buyer's Fee of 3% of the Final Resolution Price, subject to a minimum of $250 and a maximum of $7,500. A single charge will be created for this fee at the time the FRP is confirmed. All Blind Offer Buyer's Fees are non-refundable.

Binding Nature

Submission of a Blind Offer constitutes a binding offer to purchase or sell the vehicle at the Final Resolution Price if overlap exists. Both parties agree to complete the transaction in good faith upon confirmation of an FRP.

Sellers

Listing Fee

Street Car Market charges a $99 listing fee for sellers to list a vehicle on the platform. This fee covers listing creation, moderation, platform access, and exposure to verified bidders. The listing fee is non-recurring and is required before a vehicle becomes visible on the platform. The listing fee is non-refundable except in the case where the auction receives zero bids, in which case the fee will be fully refunded.

All vehicle submissions are subject to review and approval by our team prior to publication. Submission of a listing does not guarantee publication. Sellers will be clearly notified of any applicable fees prior to submission or publication of their vehicle.

Accuracy of Listings

Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of all information provided in their listing, including vehicle description, condition, mileage, modification history, title status, and photographs.

By submitting a listing, you represent and warrant that:

• You are the legal owner of the vehicle or are authorized to sell it
• The vehicle is free of encumbrances or legal issues
• All information provided is accurate, complete, and not misleading
• You will honor the sale if the reserve is met or a Blind Offer is established

Reserve Price Modifications

Sellers may request a reduction to their reserve price at any time during the active listing period by contacting Street Car Market via email at support@streetcarmarket.com.

Seller Obligations

If your vehicle sells through auction or the Blind Offer process, you agree to contact the buyer promptly, provide accurate title documentation, and complete the transaction in good faith. Failure to honor a confirmed sale may result in account suspension.

No Sale Guarantee

Street Car Market does not guarantee that any listed vehicle will sell. Listing approval and publication do not constitute a guarantee of sale.

Each buyer acknowledges and agrees that Street Car Market bears no risk associated with the purchase of any vehicle listed via the Services, whether or not any inspection is performed. Street Car Market makes no warranties and bears no risk or responsibility with respect to any recommended third-party inspection services.

Exclusivity

In the event a user accesses or uses Street Car Market to list or sell a vehicle as a Seller, such user hereby acknowledges and agrees that following publication and for the duration of the 7-day listing window, the Seller may not list, post, or otherwise make available the applicable vehicle on any other auction platform, dealership, marketplace, social media sales page, or listing service of any kind, including but not limited to Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, social media pages, or any similar platform.

Street Car Market reserves the right to remove any listing at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to violation of this exclusivity requirement, at Street Car Market's sole discretion and without further obligation to the Seller.
