Bid with a ceiling.
Keep room to repair.

Read the lot board before committing

Developer pre-release notes described a daily lot board, new lots each day, and some auction bays containing special motorcycles. Those notes are a feature lead; check the board, map marker, and current build because availability and opening times can change.

• Compare the current lot information before deciding which bike to inspect.
• Do not assume a special lot is automatically a profitable lot.
• Record the lot name, visible condition, auction date, and your final bid.

Before the auction opens

Treat the auction as a risk decision, not a checklist to buy every bike. The same repair and selling costs still apply after a winning bid.

• Write an expected sale amount only if the current game gives you a basis for it.
• Add visible repair quotes, fuel/delivery cost if applicable, and optional customization.
• Reserve a margin for unknowns rather than spending the full estimated sale amount.

A simple bid ceiling

Maximum bid = expected sale proceeds − repairs − cleaning/customization − delivery/other costs − target profit buffer. Every input is yours; this site does not claim hidden game values or guaranteed return.

During bidding

Compare the next bid with your ceiling, not with what rival dealers appear willing to pay. Stop when the remaining margin no longer compensates for the risks you can see. The game’s opponent bidding behavior is not independently tested in this guide.

After the sale

Record winning bid, visible damage, total repair spend, listing amount, final payment, and in-game days until sale. One transaction is an observation, not proof that the same bike or tactic repeats reliably.
