Automobilia auctions: car badges, enamel signs and motoring memorabilia, searched at once
Automobilia is a broad, quietly collectible category: petrol pumps, enamel advertising signs, marque badges, dashboard clocks and car mascots turn up everywhere from dedicated motoring sales to general house-clearance auctions, usually with no specialist attention at all.
Why automobilia lots get missed
A vintage petrol tin, a marque cufflink set, or an enamel garage sign is small, easy to overlook, and rarely gets its own dedicated sale. It's just as likely to be bundled into a general "collectables" lot at a local auction house as catalogued properly. Checking every platform every day to catch these is unrealistic for one person.
One search across every platform
Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld, NumisBids and more being added simultaneously, alongside eBay. A search for "automobilia," a marque name, "enamel sign," or "petrol pump" returns matching lots across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.
Real results for "automobilia": genuine lots including a Halfords oil can, Buick tri-shield cufflinks and Wolseley & Ford trinket dishes, found in one search.
It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.
Alerts: for a category that's easy to miss
Because automobilia rarely gets its own dedicated sale, save a search (a marque, item type, or "automobilia" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.
Want to try before installing?
The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching automobilia lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Common questions
Can I search automobilia auctions across multiple platforms at once?
Yes, the free extension searches iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld, NumisBids and more being added simultaneously, alongside eBay, from one search box.
Does it cover petrol pumps, enamel signs and car mascots, not just badges?
Yes, any keyword works, so petrol pumps, enamel signs, car mascots, dashboard clocks and other motoring memorabilia all search the same way across all covered platforms.
Can I get alerted the moment a new automobilia lot is listed?
Yes, save a search and get an email the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay.
Is the extension safe?
It requests minimal permissions, cannot read your browsing history, only reads publicly visible auction listings, and never modifies pages or places bids. No account, no personal data.
