Broad Arrow Totals $316m in Transactions in 2024

Broad Arrow’s numbers for 2024 are in — and they represent some significant growth for the organization.

According to the company, it achieved $316 million in total transactions across auctions, private sales and financing in just its third year of operation. This represents 75% growth over 2023 results ($180 million in total transactions). 

“I would like to thank our clients, our team and car lovers globally who helped us achieve incredible growth again in 2024,” said Kenneth Ahn, President of Broad Arrow and Hagerty Marketplace. “While most players in the industry saw flat to declining transaction values, Broad Arrow achieved more than 50% year-over-year growth in auction sales, with 75% year-over-year growth in transaction values across all of Broad Arrow.”

“As collectors’ tastes across segments continue to shift, our team has worked diligently to curate our offering to cater to not only the established but also the rising generation of new collectors, with a decidedly younger selection of cars on a value-weighted basis vis-à-vis our key competitors. We are grateful to our clients for their continued trust, and we look forward to expanding our footprint and tailoring our offering as we expand our business to Europe in 2025. Our focus for the first three years was to build a great foundation, and we are now focused on becoming the global leader in the industry.”

Broad Arrow Auctions reported more than $164 million in total sales across four live auctions and three online-only memorabilia auctions in 2024. 

At The Amelia, the company exceeded expectations with $63 million in total sales — nearly doubling its 2023 result — and a 92% sell-through rate. Later, it held a Porsche-only auction in partnership with the first-ever Air|Water event from the creators of Luftgekühlt ($15.6 million), a flagship Motorlux Auction at the Monterey Jet Center ($71.5 million, compared to $57.5 million in 2023), and a new auction in partnership with The Chattanooga Motorcar Festival ($12.3 million).

New for 2024, Broad Arrow Auctions held three online-only memorabilia auctions, attracting bidders from more than 26 countries.

The Broad Arrow Auctions team’s reported numbers include an overall sell-through rate of 92% for 820 lots sold (431 cars and 389 memorabilia lots), and 18 world record auction prices. Bidders participated from 37 countries, with a reported 43% increase in the number of registered bidders over 2023.
