We sell vehicles in a variety of ways including our sales facility in Martinez, via the Internet on Craigslist and eBay, through specialty auctions and consignment lots, and through one of the largest dealer auction companies with buyers from the U.S. and many countries around the world.
As a result our average sale price is significantly higher than other donation companies, which sell their vehicles only at auction. Our multiple selling methods mean more money for the charity organization and bigger tax write-offs for their donors, which results in more business through repeat, satisfied donors and their referrals. Our competitor’s send all of their cars straight to the auction house with no consideration of the potential selling price. Other Vehicle Donation Programs may tell you they pay a higher percentage, however the average selling price is the true measure.
