For Corvette owners looking to sell their prized vehicles, Mecum Auctions presents a premier opportunity with its Glendale 2025 event, set for March 5-9, 2025. As the world’s largest collector car auction, Mecum draws thousands of enthusiasts and serious buyers eager to bid on rare and high-performance vehicles.
With more than 2,000 collector cars expected to cross the auction block at Glendale and thousands more bidders following online, sellers can take advantage of extensive exposure and a streamlined sales process. Mecum’s team of consignment agents assists sellers in preparing their vehicles, from setting reserve prices to determining ideal auction placement.
How to Consign Your Corvette
The first step to selling a Corvette at a Mecum auction is submitting details through the Consignment page on the Mecum website. Sellers provide photographs and information about their vehicle’s condition, and a consignment agent follows up to guide them through the process. Vehicles must be running and drivable with a valid title.
Once listed, sellers work with Mecum’s specialists to determine whether to set a reserve price—ensuring the car doesn’t sell below a specified amount—or go with a No Reserve auction, which often attracts more bidding action. Mecum charges a 6% seller’s fee for No Reserve listings and 10% for reserve sales.
Maximizing Your Sale Price
Presentation is key. Mecum offers professional photography services, ensuring vehicles look their best in the auction catalog and online. Sellers can also opt for detailing services to make their car showroom-ready before it crosses the block.
After a successful sale, Mecum handles all title transfers and payments, with sellers typically receiving funds within 10 to 14 days. For unsold vehicles, Mecum’s “The Bid Goes On” program continues marketing the car to potential buyers.
With Mecum’s expertise, high-profile events like Glendale 2025 provide Corvette owners an unparalleled opportunity to connect with buyers and achieve top-dollar sales.
