The feature only shows companies that have previously placed a bid on vehicles offered by your organisation through CarCollect. This allows you to quickly reach interested buyers again.
Why should I use Find your buyer?
With Find your buyer, you can:
✔ Invite previous bidders to bid on a new vehicle.
✔ Reach more relevant buyers.
✔ Increase the chance of receiving more bids.
✔ Further build existing trading relationships.
✔ Spend less time manually approaching buyers.
This feature is particularly useful when you regularly offer similar vehicles.
How does Find your buyer work?
Once you have listed a vehicle, you can invite previous bidders to place a bid.
Follow these steps:
Open the vehicle for which you want to invite buyers.
Click the Action button.
Select Invite to bid.
Then click Find your buyer.
An overview appears showing companies that have previously placed bids on vehicles from your organisation.
Select one or more bidders you want to invite.
Click Confirm.
The selected bidders will then receive an invitation to place a bid on your vehicle.
Which buyers can I see?
Within Find your buyer, you will only see companies that:
Have previously placed a bid on vehicles from your organisation.
Are active on CarCollect.
May be interested in similar vehicles again.
You therefore do not see a complete overview of all buyers on CarCollect, but only your own historical bidders.

This feature is ideal when you:
Offer similar vehicles again.
Start a new auction.
Want to generate more bids.
Want to approach previously interested buyers again.
Who is Find your buyer useful for?
This feature is suitable for:

Tips for getting the most out of Find your buyer
For the best results:
✔ Invite multiple relevant bidders at the same time.
✔ Use Find your buyer immediately after a vehicle has been listed.
✔ Approach buyers who have previously actively bid on similar vehicles.
✔ Combine this feature with an attractive vehicle listing and complete vehicle information.
The more relevant buyers you reach, the greater the chance of a successful sale.
