Frequently Asked Questions

Bounty Hunters is a listing service that connects serious car buyers with verified sellers based on the buyer's exact must-haves. Buyers post what they're looking for — year, make, model, and up to 3 must-haves — and sellers come to them. Think of it as a wanted poster for your dream car.

A Bounty is your public posting for a specific vehicle you're hunting. You choose the make, model, year range, and up to 3 must-haves. It lives on the Bounty Board for 6 months where sellers can see it.

A Showdown begins when a seller (called an Outlaw) responds to your Bounty with a matching vehicle. It's a public negotiation between the Bounty hunter (buyer) and the Outlaw (seller). Both parties have a limited time to negotiate and agree on terms.

An Outlaw is a seller who has the car you're hunting. When they see your Bounty on the board and their vehicle matches your must-haves, they can initiate a Showdown.

Free. Every bounty is reviewed by our team before it goes live on the board. Most are approved within 24 hours.

When we find your car and verify the seller, you pay a 1% introduction fee based on the estimated vehicle value ($250 minimum). That's it. Compare that to auction sites that charge buyers 5% (up to $7,500). Sellers pay nothing — joining and listing is completely free.

No. Your Bounty is visible to all sellers for 6 months, but finding a match depends on the rarity of your year, make, model, and must-haves. The more specific your must-haves, the longer it may take. That's why it's important to be realistic about what you're looking for.

You can edit your must-haves at any time from My Bounties. The make, model, and year range cannot be changed after posting.

After 6 months, your Bounty is removed from the board. You'll receive an email before it expires with the option to repost.

Not yet. We're currently US-only. If you'd like us in your country, let us know.
