The House · Est. 2008

The repo trade,
in one circle.

For the buyer who wants the car without the showroom — and the lender who needs the asset to clear quickly, cleanly, at fair value.

Founded: 2008
Partners: 12
Lots hammered: 2,847
Sell-through: 81%

Repossessed vehicles have been moving through the back doors of regional banks and credit unions for a century. The auctions were closed-room — dealer-only, paddle-fee, mark-up at the wholesale lot. The end buyer paid retail anyway. We thought that was a strange way to do business.

We built Hobart Auto Auction to put the gavel in front of anyone with a verified email and a payment method. The mechanics of an old-school auction house — sequential lots, disclosed reserves, anti-snipe extensions, proxy bidding — all of it, online, free to join.

The auction is the most honest pricing mechanism humans have invented. We just wanted everyone in the room.

Lenders consign their inventory weekly. Photographs, VIN history, mileage, transmission, reserve — published before the doors open. You browse the catalogue, register your seat, and bid when the lot opens. If the floor passes the reserve, the gavel falls. If it doesn't, the lot returns to the lender. Simple as that.

N° 02 · House Rules

Our principles

Six. Non-negotiable.

Transparency

Every reserve is disclosed before the lot opens. No phantom bids, no shill bidding, no rebooked floors.

Sequential Flow

Events run lot-by-lot like a real auction house. Step away between lots, return to the active one.

Anti-Snipe

A bid in the final 30 seconds extends the lot by a minute. The hammer falls only when bidding truly stops.

Proxy Bidding

Set a maximum, walk away. The system bids in $100 increments on your behalf.

Lender Quality

Vehicles consigned by regulated lenders. Title work in hand. Past-due, not past-prime.

Fast Invoices

Win a lot, the invoice lands within the hour. Pickup or shipping arranged the same day.
