About

Auction

Auctions on our website always consist of two phases: the initial offer and the real-time live bidding.

Initial offer

While in the “Detailinfo” (“Detailed information”) view you may also submit your initial offer with regard to a specific object/car. The initial offer is the first stage of the two-phase auction process that takes place before commencement of the live bidding. You can make initial offers with regard to all cars and objects put on the auction (see, the calendar).

In order to make an offer you have to click on the green ““MAKE AN OFFER” button. The amount of the offer is displayed in the field on the right of the button. By default this field has the sum that exceeds the previous offer by a single step. You may change the amount of the offer manually, by indicating the sum that exceeds the previous offer by two steps or more.





Before registration of your initial offer or automatic bidding, you must confirm the offered sum by clicking the “kinnita” (“confirm”) button. Where the initial price was not offered, the program offers you the initial price for confirmation.




Live bidding

Commencement of the live bidding is indicated by the green information box in place of the calendar that shows the bidding that is taking place at the moment (in real time).

TAKE NOTE! If you wish to monitor the auction in real time or participate in it, click on “Enter to the auction” link. You will be taken to the real-time auction (this window is refreshed automatically). During the entire live bidding process the window in place of the calendar will inform you about the object/car on sale at the moment, even if you are viewing an auction planned for the future or if you are browsing some other section of our website.






 
Up to 35 objects/cars may participate in a single bidding (more in special cases). 1 object/car can be sold on the bidding at one time.

TAKE NOTE: after commencement of the dynamic bidding it is no longer possible to submit initial offers or use automatic bidding for the objects put on the auction.

In order to make a bid during the live bidding you should activate the bidding by clicking on “Enter to the auction”) link (as described above) and wait for the object that interests you to be put on the auction. To make your bid simply click on the button with the respective sum. Attention! During the live bidding the program does not ask for confirmation – every click on the button is immediately displayed as a valid bid.



 

The program will react on any bid you make by displaying a confirmation notification:



 

On the dynamic bidding every lot has 1 minute during which every user who has confirmed his/her identity and has authorized on the website can offer a higher price. Where a higher bid is registered within 1 minute, the respective sum is added to the offer price and the bidding timer restarts. This is repeated until no more bids are placed. The auction is won by the user with the last bid.



Automatic bidding

After you make your starting bid you will have an option to activate the automatic bidding by ticking the box “automaatpakkumine” (“automatic bidding”). By allowing automatic bidding you command the program to make bids that are one step larger than previous ones made by other participants (until the bid reaches the maximum sum indicated by you).

TAKE NOTE! In case of several equal bids the auction is won by the user who submits his/her bid earlier.




You will receive a confirmation in connection with registration of the automatic bidding. Automatic bidding can be turned off at any time before the dynamic bidding starts. All the bids made in connection with particular auction are displayed on the left in the topmost part of the page, right below the auction clock. Letter (A) marks automatic bidding

Auction clock

The auction clock works in two modes and shows:

  1. Time left until commencement of the auction or the live bidding. It is also the time during which you still can make your initial offer and/or set up automatic bidding.

  1. TAKE NOTE! Where your bid is the leading one, the clock is colored green.

  2.  

  3. Time left until the end of the bidding (auction) for the particular object/car, where the dynamic bidding has already started. In such a case the clock shows time for each object/car individually. See: live bidding



  1. TAKE NOTE! Where your bid is not the leading one, the clock is colored red.

  2. The list view

By clicking the highlighted date on the calendar you will see the list of the objects offered.
