Manheim Simulcast and OVE: how to get access without a dealer license

Manheim sells online in two ways: Simulcast streams the live lanes with audio and video, OVE is a round-the-clock marketplace with Buy Now prices and offers. Both require a dealer account. Here is how each works and how you get in.

Direct access to Copart, IAAI and Manheim for $100. Not a broker bidding for you: your own login on the three official auction sites, under our Florida dealer license. You see every lot, you place every bid, you keep full control. No dealer license needed, no membership. The $100 is one-time and is credited toward your deposit and your car.

Simulcast: the live lanes online

Each Manheim location runs sale days with numbered lanes; Simulcast streams them live.
You see the car on the block, hear the auctioneer, and bid in real time against the room and other online bidders.
Run lists are published before the sale, so you pick your targets, read the condition reports and set your maximum in advance.
Winning is final within seconds; payment and pickup follow the location’s terms.

OVE: Buy Now and offers, 24/7

OVE (Online Vehicle Exchange) lists vehicles with a Buy Now price, and many accept offers.
No sale day to wait for: find the car, check the report, buy or make an offer.
Inventory comes from dealers, lease returns, fleets and rental companies, mostly clean titles.
Arbitration and condition-report standards apply, which is why many buyers prefer OVE for their first Manheim purchase.

What a listing shows

Year, make, model and trim, odometer, the condition report with a grade and photos, announcements (frame, structural, title delay), the selling location, and the price type: current bid or floor on Simulcast, Buy Now or offer on OVE. Manheim buyer fees depend on the selling location and price.
