How much is the security deposit?

Last updated on Apr 21, 2026

To begin bidding or buying at SCA, you must first place a refundable security deposit of $1,000 or 15%, whichever is greater of the amount you'd like to bid. A $1,000 deposit will set your maximum bid at $6,600 and your bidding limit at one vehicle. If you're looking to bid more than $6,600 or bid on more than one vehicle simultaneously, you will need to increase your Buying Power based on our calculator.*
