Start with the listing data
Both auctions provide core vehicle information, but field names and layout can differ. Focus on auction identifier, VIN, branch, title document, damage and run condition.
Fees are part of the buying decision
The winning bid is not the final vehicle cost. Auction fees depend on the amount and bidding/payment conditions, so calculate them before comparing vehicles.
Branch location matters
Similar branch names may exist in different places. Correctly matching branch, city, state and ZIP helps prevent an inland transport rate from the wrong location.
Compare totals, not bids
Compare vehicles using the combined auction, inland transport and shipping cost rather than the winning bid alone.
