Question 1

What does CrankScope watch?

Accepted Answer

CrankScope monitors new listings from Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, Mecum, Bonhams, RM Sotheby’s, Gooding & Company, Barrett-Jackson, ACC, Collecting Cars, and Hemmings. It turns that moving stream of auctions into a shortlist you can actually review.

Question 2

How does ranking match my wishlist?

Accepted Answer

You describe the cars, budget, condition, provenance, and use case you care about in plain language. CrankScope translates that into a search profile, then scores each new lot against the fit of your wishlist rather than simply sorting by auction date or price.

Question 3

What is in the daily email?

Accepted Answer

Each morning’s digest contains the highest-signal new listings for your hunts, with the reason each one matched and the details worth opening the auction page for. The goal is one useful read, not another firehose of alerts.

Question 4

How do comps and alerts work?

Accepted Answer

CrankScope cross-checks listings against Hagerty valuation reports and the Classic.com archive. Pro adds condition-banded comparable context, underpriced alerts when a lot looks mispriced, and swing alerts when a live auction moves materially.

Question 5

Which auction sources are supported?

Accepted Answer

The current watchlist includes Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, Mecum, Bonhams, RM Sotheby’s, Gooding & Company, Barrett-Jackson, ACC, Collecting Cars, and Hemmings. We are adding sources carefully so the rankings stay useful instead of noisy.

Question 6

What does it cost, and how do I get early access?

Accepted Answer

The Free tier is planned to include a daily ranked shortlist. Pro is planned to add comparable data, underpriced alerts, and intra-day swing alerts. Join the early-access list from the home page or pricing page and we’ll share the next cohort details as access opens.

Question 7

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Join the early-access list, then describe your first hunt in your own words. We’ll use that signal to shape the onboarding experience around the cars and constraints you actually care about.

Question 8

How can I contact the CrankScope team?

Accepted Answer

Use the contact form at /contact or email crankscope-5@polsia.app. Questions about a source, a ranking, a wishlist, or early access are all welcome.
