Vehicles Bought and Sold in 60 Seconds
With a sense of urgency found only in a live auction, vehicles are bought and sold in 60 seconds. Our live auctions have set starting times and a runlist that allows buyers to hone in on vehicles of interest and get organized in advance. This translates to more eyes on cars and explains why EBlock boasts an industry high conversion rate.
Know when a vehicle has met reserve and is going to be sold
Vehicles Bought and Sold Daily
Ending Every HourWe realize you might want to buy and sell vehicles daily or even hourly. The Hourly Auction gives you the ability to do both as a Grounded or Live Appraisal vehicle. Your time is important to us and this is why this channel has set ending times.
Similar to our Live Auction, our Grounded Auction vehicles have starting prices and mandatory reserves. The difference in this channel is that all units end at the same time daily. Buyers can see when the Reserve is Met and all units have bid extensions and won’t disappear during the action.
Sellers can load up Live Appraisals while customers are in the showroom. This brings the competitive, urgent auction atmosphere into your showroom when you need to appraise and desk a deal. Sellers can set their own starting prices and select their ending time.
We’ve proactively organized the chaos and all Live Appraisals end every hour on the hour. With a timer and bid extensions, be prepared to experience live bidding wars as these hourly appraisals end.

Launched in 2016, EBlock is the fastest growing online auction and the only platform that sells cars in 60 seconds. “It’s about time” there was an online auction that can recreate the sense of urgency and excitement only found, until now, at physical auctions. With the addition of live appraisals that have set “ending times” every hour on the hour, buyers are able to win more appraisals in the least amount of time. Our goal is to streamline and simplify the car buying, selling and appraising process. EBlock, It’s about time.
