Upgrades and Deposits

Get an Edge Over the Competition

To ensure the best bidding and buying experience with CrashedToys, you must have Buying Power. Buyers with a Basic Membership receive an automatic $1,000 in Buying Power. This means you can only bid on a vehicle up to $1,000. There are two options to get more Buying Power:

Upgrade Your Membership

Premier Membership is the best choice for most CrashedToys buyers to get more Buying Power. All that's required is an initial $200 registration fee, a one-time, fully refundable $400 deposit and copies of all current licenses (if applicable).

Note: Premier benefits last for one year. Annual renewal drops to $150 after your first year of Premier Membership.

Upgrading to Premier does not increase your bidding eligibility. Eligibility is determined by your current licenses on file and state requirements.

Basic Members

Buying Power WidgetFor buyers planning to purchase only a few vehicles a year, adding a deposit before you bid is another option to get more Buying Power. Your deposit on file with CrashedToys needs to be 10% of the maximum amount you wish to bid on a vehicle.

Example: A $3,500 bid would require a deposit of $350.

A few things to note about deposits:

  1. To determine your current Buying Power, visit the Member Dashboard.
  2. Deposits cannot be applied to vehicle purchases or other invoices, but they can be refunded.
  3. Deposit refunds are not automatic. You must request the refund within Account Information or by contacting Member Services.
  4. Deposits made with a credit card will be refunded back to the original card account. If the account is closed, please contact Member Services and a check will be issued to you instead.
  5. Deposits made with a debit card cannot be refunded back to the card account. Instead, a check will be issued to you.
  6. Refund transactions submitted each night are processed by our bank the next business day. The cutoff time is roughly 11:15 p.m. It typically takes 1-3 business days for a deposit refund to post back to your bank account.
  7. If your account has a past due relist invoice, available deposits will automatically be used to offset the outstanding invoice.
