Top Online Sales in 2024
Interestingly, the top online sale landed at number 14, with SBX selling a 2015 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster for $6M. However, there is controversy regarding calling this the “Top Online Auction Sale” as the the sale was done privately after the auction had ended. The top online sale that officially sold at auction was this 2022 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport sold for $4.1M at Bring a Trailer.
While online sales are the most popular way to sell in 2024, live auctions still hold the lead for Top Sales, leaving a noticeable gap between the two. More to come on those trends in our 2024 Year in Review coming out in January!
