City Auction Group has partnered with TradeSales.com, the independent vehicle remarketing platform, to give dealers, leasing firms, and fleet operators a faster, more profitable route to move vehicles.
The partnership offers the flexibility to remarket stock without losing valuable retail opportunities or eroding margins, and navigate slower conversion and elevated inventory levels while capitalising on demand for quick-turn models.
Michael Tomalin, CEO of City Auction Group, said: “In 2025, every pound counts. By working with TradeSales we’re giving our dealer and corporate fleet and finance partners an alternative channel to sell stock faster.
“This is about giving the trade more choice, more flexibility, and more control in how they remarket vehicles.”
TradeSales.com allows dealers to list vehicles free of charge, with no commission or hidden costs. Buyers pay a simple, transparent flat-rate fee meaning sellers keep 100% of the sale price.
The platform is mobile-first, enabling stock to be listed in minutes and offered via real-time bidding, buy-it-now or timed auction events.
Vehicles can remain on the forecourt while also being offered to the trade, maximising exposure and speeding up stock turn without disrupting retail activity.
David Brown, founder of TradeSales.com, said: “Margins are tight, holding stock is expensive and dealers shouldn’t have to choose between retailing a vehicle and sending it to auction.
“With TradeSales, you can do both and keep 100% of the sale price. Partnering with City Auction Group allows us to extend those benefits to an even wider network of professional buyers and sellers.”
The partnership offers access to a pipeline of vehicles from trusted sources, including franchised and independent dealers, fleet operators, finance houses and leasing companies many listed before they appear on other platforms.
City Auction Group will continue to provide its in-person and online auction services, now enhanced by the flexibility of TradeSales.com’s technology platform.
