Understanding Auction Types: 

We host two main types of auctions: live and silent. Live auctions involve real-time bidding where you can see bids going up as you watch. On the other hand, silent auctions let you see how many people are eyeing each lot without revealing their bids. Knowing the difference can help you adjust your strategy. 

Making Your Bids Count: 

When it comes to bidding, many people make the mistake of focusing solely on the unit price. But here's the thing: a lot can contain different products with varying specs and conditions. So instead of just looking at the price per unit, take the time to check out the details of each lot. Consider factors like the number of units available, their specs, and their overall condition. Then, calculate your bid based on the total value you're getting. 

And don't forget about extra costs like shipping. When it's time to bid, be strategic. Take a close look at the lot details, calculate your bid based on the total value you're getting, and aim for the best deal.  

Navigating the Process: 

Keep things organised by using features like dropdown menus to dig into lot specifics and the "My Bids" section to keep track of what lots you've got your eye on.  

Feeling a bit lost? No worries! Just head back to the homepage, where you'll find everything neatly laid out for you. And if you're on the hunt for something specific, our search feature will help you quickly find what you're looking for.
