Best Auction website vendors? Need a way to auction off repo'd autos on our credit union website.

Hi guys,
We're in need of a vendor who has a good auction website template that we can use on our site. We're finding it very hard to find more than two or three via Google.

We're a credit union in Colorado, and as a benefit to our members, we try to auction off any cars that we repo. It's a VERY small number, only like 3 to 5 a month are auctioned on our current website. However, we developed this auction code ourselves about 7 years ago. So as you can imagine...very out of date.

The perfect scenario would be to find a vendor who would host the site and just allow us to upload the few cars we get for auction. Then we could direct the member to the auction site either through an iFrame on our own site, or link out to them on a subdomain.

Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
Pixel41, we've seen several of these services come and go. I hate to report but I'm not aware of anything off hand. Maybe someone else will chime in and offer some advise.

Why not place the vehicles on ebay and frame in your ebay store into your website. This way you not only get your local customers bidding but also people across the nation?

You might want to check out WideStorm by DealerPeak. They offer an automatic negation tool that might work for your purpose. I've never used it so I can't speak on the performance of the product but it might be something to check into.
 

✨ AI Highlights

A credit union in Colorado seeks a vendor to host an online auction platform for 3-5 repossessed vehicles monthly, ideally with the ability to embed or link it from their website without building custom code. Respondents suggest exploring eBay integration with an embedded store, checking out WideStorm by DealerPeak as a potential automation tool, and contacting DealerSimplified, though no definitive solution is confirmed as currently available in this niche market.
