Dealers who want to move stock or sell trade-ins.
Sell your vehicle at auction
You register your vehicle with the licence plate. We check it, write the lot description and place it in an auction at Troostwijk. After the award the buyer pays and you receive the proceeds within five working days.
Call or email us. You will receive an invitation to the portal.
Who it is for
Leasing companies and fleet managers with vehicles at the end of contract.
Businesses with one commercial vehicle that is being replaced.
You can register passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles; for other vehicles [controle] please contact us first.
How it goes
Request an account
You call or email us. We send you an invitation to the portal; accounts are by invitation only.
Register the vehicle
You enter the licence plate. Make, model, year, fuel and inspection date are added automatically from the RDW. You add the mileage, the condition and any defects, and upload photos. At least four photos, preferably more: all sides, the interior and every damage close up, in daylight.
Check and lot description
We check the data and the photos and ask for additions where needed. Then we write the lot description. You set the reserve price; we advise you on it.
Auction
Your vehicle is listed in the next auction at Troostwijk, provided it is complete before the submission deadline. You follow its status in the portal.
Award and payment
With a bid at or above the reserve price the vehicle is awarded. The buyer pays; you receive the proceeds within five working days after that payment. If the reserve is not met, we offer the vehicle again in consultation with you or return it to you.
Collection by the buyer
The buyer collects the vehicle in Alblasserdam. You bring the vehicle to Alblasserdam yourself.
What we do for you
- Check the data and the photos and add what is missing.
- Write the lot description, with the condition and the defects as they are.
- Schedule the vehicle in an auction at Troostwijk.
- Answer buyers' questions.
- Handle the award and the payment and keep you informed.
- Release the vehicle to the buyer in Alblasserdam and arrange the deregistration [controle].
What it costs
As a business you pay no costs up front. After the award and the buyer's payment we deduct our fee from the proceeds: a kickback of 7% of the hammer price and a fixed fee of 150 euros, both excluding VAT. Kickback is the auction term for the fee per vehicle sold that is settled at payout. Troostwijk invoices the buyer, Mr. Auction invoices Troostwijk and you invoice your vehicle to Mr. Auction. You receive a summary of the terms in advance, so you know what you will receive net. Private individuals pay a one-off 350 euros excluding VAT (423.50 euros including VAT).

What happens if the reserve price is not met?
Then the vehicle is not awarded. We discuss with you whether to offer it again in the next auction, possibly with a different reserve, or return it to you.
When do I receive my money?
After the buyer has paid. Buyers usually pay within a few days of the award (own records, as at 5 November 2026). You receive the proceeds within five working days after that payment.
Do I have to bring the vehicle to Alblasserdam myself?
Yes, you bring the vehicle to Alblasserdam yourself.
Who takes the photos and who writes the description?
You upload the photos through the portal. We write the lot description based on your data, the RDW data and the photos.
Can I get an indication of the proceeds in advance?
Call us. We give an indication based on earlier sales of comparable vehicles. That is an estimate, not a valuation.
How does deregistration work when the buyer is abroad?
The vehicle is then exported. Mr. Auction arranges the deregistration of the licence plate and you receive the certificate of deregistration [controle].
Can I register a vehicle as a private individual?
Yes. Private individuals pay a one-off 350 euros excluding VAT (423.50 euros including VAT) and set their own reserve price. If the vehicle is not awarded, we auction it again up to five times. After the award and payment by Troostwijk, Mr. Auction buys the vehicle from you and pays you out.
How quickly is my vehicle in an auction?
There are usually two auctions a week. A completely registered vehicle is listed in the next auction whose submission deadline has not passed.
What do I need to register?
The licence plate, the mileage, the condition of the vehicle and photos. You need the registration certificate (kentekencard) and the transfer code (tenaamstellingscode) at handover.
