Our payment system is 100% reliable and We do not accept any of the payment methods specified above on Craigslist and Kijiji. The payment goes through our system and will be verified and held into a trusted account until the Buyer receives and approves the Item. This eliminates stolen Credit Cards, PayPal accounts, fake Nigerian checks, etc. Read our "Spoof Protection" page for more information about the above mentioned scams.
Free ServiceThe process is FREE for Buyers. All fees associated with the transaction are Seller's responsibility and will be deducted from the sale price, at the end of the transaction. There are no hidden fees.
You work with us only. No dealing with strangers, no missed appointments, no uncomfortable face-to-face negotiations with the Buyer. It’s safe, and easy.
It used to be that when a Seller made the decision to sell his Item, to have two choices:
(1) Sell the Item to a dealer, which can be convenient but often results in a price that is 15-25% less than the private party value;
(2) Take on the time consuming challenge of selling it on Your own.
TRANSPORTATION COLLABORATIVE, INC. offers a third option – a physical marketplace that helps Sellers get more money for their Items without the traditional hassles and risk of transacting in the private market.
(1) We take an up front fee of $199, which covers the work we do to prepare and market Your Item for sale,
including a thorough visual inspection, state safety inspection, basic interior and exterior cleaning, an Item history report and professional photographs.
(2) If Your Item needs a full detail, we can take care of that for You for an additional $120.
(3) You benefit of all Our services for a commission of only 6% from the selling price and We include free
shipping services for Buyers, up to 1,000 Miles.
Our incentives are completely aligned: If we don’t sell Your Item, we don’t get paid a success fee.
Sell Your Items from the comfort of Your own home. We know that time costs money and we value time. Let us do the selling and send You a check in the mail after the sale is complete.

(2) Avoid having to find time in Your busy schedule to show the vehicle.
(3) Avoid strangers breaching Your privacy by visiting Your home.
(4) Avoid diminishing the enjoyment of Your time off work, weekends and holidays because of having to wait near the phone for prospects to call.
(5) Avoid the inconvenience and frustration of rearranging Your schedule for prospects who say they are "coming right over," and then never show up.
(6) Avoid having to leave Your valued possession on the side of a highway, or in a store parking lot with a "For Sale" sign on Your windshield, only to experience the inconvenience and expense of having Your Item ticketed and towed for illegal parking.
Sellers can be 100% sure that they receive real money in exchange for their Items.
No Sale, No ChargeWe charge Sellers only after the Item is sold, no sale-no charge. We can even help re-listing unsold or returned Items, until are sold.
Our goal is to get You the highest possible price for what You sell! We work to present Your Item in the best possible way in our listings. Here are some tips:
DocumentationOriginal packaging, manuals, instructions, receipts, appraisals, accessories -- anything at all that You still have that came with the Item -- is almost always helpful in bringing up the final price. This is especially important for designer and premium branded Items. Before You bring Your Item in, take a few minutes to find all the related materials You can. We must ask for authentication for designer brand Items to protect Buyers and meet eBay, Amazon and other online marketplace rules and regulations.
Flaws and DefectsMost of the Items sold on eBay are used and Buyers expect them to have some flaws and defects; but they must be disclosed in the listing! In fact, many Buyers are wary of purchasing "perfect" Items which are not new. If You know of any flaw or defect in Your Item, tell us when You check in. If You do not, chances are we may reject the listing or we both will end up with a return from the Buyer, resulting in a non-sale for You.
Make It ShineA picture is worth a thousand words. Take a few minutes before You bring in Your Item to clean it up and really make it shine!
Item LimitationsFirst, all Items that we accept for sale must be legal for sale and conform to eBay rules (no counterfeits, hazardous materials, etc.). Please click here to see the full list of eBay's restricted Items for details and here to see the Craigslist prohibited Items. To prevent the sale of stolen goods, we require that You present a driver's license or other government-issued photo ID when dropping off Your Items. We will mail Your check only to the address on Your identification. We run a full history report of all types of vehicles, trailers, boats, etc. This verification is just a security measure, we do not release any of the information mentioned above to Buyers according to our Terms of Use.
