1. Tell us it’s gone
Once your pickup time starts, your board asks whether your buyer picked up the car. Press Yes, it’s gone, and your board asks once more to make sure, then closes out the sale. If your buyer came before the booked time, use the “Already picked up?” link on your board instead. If the car is still with you, press No and tell us what happened.
If your buyer or their driver marks the car picked up first, we text you if you agreed to texts, and email you if you gave us your email. The text links to your board so you can tell us how it went, and if you have a question, reply to it and our team gets back to you.
2. Tell your state you sold it
Many states ask the seller to report the sale, and you can often do it online. It shows the car is no longer yours if it gets a ticket or a toll. Do I have to tell the state I sold my car? has the deadlines.
3. Sort out your plates, registration and insurance
Keep or turn in the plates the way your state asks. Then cancel the insurance on the car, or move it to your next car. In some states you have to turn in the plates or cancel the registration before you cancel the insurance. What do I do with my plates, registration and insurance? explains.
4. Review your buyer
Once the sale is done, your board shows a short review of your buyer on its own. It asks for stars, whether you got the full amount of the bid, and a few words if you like, and a “no” on the full amount reaches our team at once. A few words help the next seller pick the right buyer. If you’d rather do it later, press Skip for now. Reviewing your buyer says what shows and who sees it.
After your review, or once you skip it, your board offers ways to tell someone else with a junk car about BeaterBoss: on Facebook or Reddit, by email or text, by copying the link, or with your phone’s own share button where it has one.
If you gave us your email, we send you a reminder of the state, plates and insurance steps a couple of days after the sale.
