Going live on 24 January 2025… a brand new premium online auction for supercars, performance & classic cars, motorcycles and registrations

No seller’s commission, no hassle – and you’re making a difference. Take a sneak peak at… Hampson Marketplace

Friday 24 January 2025 will see the start of the first Hampson Marketplace sale – the new way of selling online with Hampson’s, while also supporting a children’s charity. And all done with complete transparency, flat fees and no seller’s commission.

Our new online timed auctions will put your premium classic or performance car, supercar, performance motorbike or cherished registration in front of our global audience 24/7 for seven days, giving you fantastic exposure and the ability to watch the bidding progress. There’s no seller’s commission to pay and we are proud to announce that we split the 7% buyer’s premium, with Hampson’s donating 1% of the hammer price of each lot to The Joshua Tree, supporting families affected by childhood cancers.

SPECIAL LAUNCH OFFER 50% OFF ENTRY FEE FOR FIRST 50 CONSIGNMENTS 

Who is it for?

The Hampson Marketplace is the perfect solution for those who feel that the traditional saleroom route isn’t for them, or who want to list their high-end car, bike or registration quickly, without waiting for the next physical auction date to roll round.

How will it work?

It’s easy as 1, 2, 3…4!

Complete our online form, giving full details of the car, bike or registration number and our friendly team will contact you with a valuation.

Bring your vehicle to our secure storage site in Cheshire – or use our collection service to do so – where it will be valeted and professionally photographed and made available for viewing.

The item is launched into our latest online sale, complete with professionally-written description, and supported with promotion via our social media channels and e-newsletters.

When the seven-day sale period is up, if your lot has sold, you receive the sale proceeds, with no seller’s fee deduction. You only pay your entry fee.

Does this replace the Hampson saleroom auctions?

No! Our auctions at Bolesworth Castle and the Oulton Park Gold Cup are a fabulous way for vendors to sell within the dynamic atmosphere of a live saleroom and will remain a key part of the Hampson offering. Our vendors simply now have an option and can choose the one which works best for them.

When’s the first Marketplace sale?

The first Marketplace sale goes live on Friday 24 January 2025, and close a week later on Friday 31 January. Entries will open in the first week of January – and you can pre-register your interest (see ‘What Next?’, below).

What about hidden costs?

We don’t believe in them. The Hampson ethos is that everything should be transparent – what you see is what you pay. And this includes the charitable element; we will present a running total of the funds raised for The Joshua Tree and give regular updates on what those funds have been spent on.

What will it cost to buy through the Hampson Marketplace?

Our 7% Buyer’s Premium makes the Hampson Marketplace an attractive place to ‘shop’ as well as to sell. We’re also proud to announce that we split the 7% buyer’s premium, with Hampson’s donating 1% of the hammer price of each lot to The Joshua Tree, supporting families affected by childhood cancers.

Ok, I’m interested!
