Is there and advantage to bidding online instead of live auctions?
Not necessarily. Online auctions are mostly for convenience, it’s more of a disadvantage really since you do not get to inspect the vehicle before hand in most cases. The best recommendation for online auctions is to only use the online interface of an auction house that is close to you and where you can at least drive to for a full inspection of the vehicle. Other than that, if you really can’t drive the distance then one of the most reliable platforms for auto auctions is eBay, where sellers are required to disclose a lot more information than at most other other auctions.
