🚗 FiveM Car Auction Script - Live Bidding System with Phone App Integration

Run a fully operational vehicle auction house on your FiveM server. PeuRen's FiveM car auction script delivers a realistic, staff-managed bidding experience with live countdown timers, in-zone participation, permission-based vehicle consignment, and a companion phone app — all built for ESX, QBCore, and QBox.

🎯 Core Features

📱 Dual-Surface UI — In-World Panel & Phone App

Players and staff interact with the auction through two polished interfaces:

• Live Auction Overlay — Compact in-world window showing current vehicle, active bid, and countdown timer
• Bid Input Panel — One-click bid form accessible via /bid command inside the auction zone
• Phone App (lb-phone & others) — Full auction browser, management panel, and real-time updates on supported phone scripts
• Staff Management Panel — Full-screen admin UI for vehicle inventory, auction settings, and history

🏎️ Player-Owned Vehicle Consignment

Owners can put their own cars up for auction through a structured consent workflow:

• Owner Permission System — Staff requests a slot; the vehicle owner receives an in-game prompt and must accept within 5 minutes
• Garage Validation — Only stored vehicles in a garage can be consigned; on-street cars are ineligible
• Starting Price Control — Staff sets the opening bid, capped by a configurable maximum auction price
• Safe Removal — Vehicles cannot be removed from inventory while the live auction is actively running

🔨 Live Bidding with Real-Time Countdowns

A competitive, zone-based bidding system that rewards active participation:

• Zone-Locked Bidding — Only players physically inside the auction zone can place bids
• Automatic Time Extension — Each new bid resets the timer to a configurable buffer (e.g. 30 seconds), preventing last-second sniping
• Minimum Bid Enforcement — All bids must exceed the current high bid and a server-defined floor
• Live Vehicle Display — The auctioned car spawns frozen at a configurable showcase point for the duration of bidding

💸 Automatic Ownership Transfer & Payouts

When the gavel drops, everything happens automatically:

• Instant Fund Deduction — Winning bidder's money is removed and transferred to the job account
• Ownership Transfer — Vehicle plate ownership updates in the database immediately
• Insufficient Funds Handling — Failed sales are recorded with a clear status in auction history
• Full Auction History — Every result (sold, failed, price, previous owner, new owner) is logged and browsable in the staff panel

⏱️ Scheduled Auction System

Staff control when auctions happen without needing constant manual oversight:

• Configurable Start Time — Set an exact date/time for the auction to begin
• Ready Flag — Staff must explicitly toggle the auction as ready before the auto-start fires
• Background Auto-Start — Server checks every 2 seconds and launches the auction when conditions are met
• Per-Vehicle Timer — Configure how much time each vehicle gets in the spotlight

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can players auction their own personal vehicles?
Yes. Staff selects the vehicle and sends a consent request to the owner. The owner must accept within 5 minutes before the car is added to the auction queue. No vehicle is listed without explicit owner approval.

What happens if the winning bidder doesn't have enough money?
The transaction is attempted automatically at auction end. If funds are insufficient, the auction is recorded as a failed sale and the vehicle is not transferred. Staff can re-list it manually.

Can the auction run on a schedule without a staff member online?
Yes. Staff configure the start time and toggle the ready flag in advance. The server auto-starts the auction when the time is reached and the ready condition is met.

Does the phone app support live bidding?
The phone app is focused on auction browsing, management, and notifications. Live bidding happens in the in-world auction zone via the /bid command.

How does the time extension work?
Every new bid that lands when less than addTimeAfterBid seconds remain resets the timer to that value. This prevents last-second sniping and keeps the auction competitive to the end.

What frameworks are supported?
Full ESX, QBCore, and QBox compatibility through peuren_lib.

Can staff manage the auction from their phone?
Yes. The phone app includes a full admin panel for vehicle queue management, auction settings, and history — accessible anywhere on the server.
