How does online bidding work?
Each auction has a limited time range. You can view the vehicles ahead of time, but you can only create bids while the auction is live. Bidding is
not restricted to office hours.
You'll need to do two things before you bid. Firstly, sign up for a free account and upload the required documentation to verify your identity. Secondly, once you've been approved you can register for an auction and settle the deposit. To make a bid, you can choose between bidding once-off, or setting up an auto-bid, where the system will bid on your behalf up to a price you specify.
At the end of the allotted auction time, the highest bid will secure the vehicle, as long as the reserve price has been met. Any late bids will extend the closing time for each individual vehicle affected. After securing any winning bids, you will receive an invoice and you can collect the vehicles as soon as you've settled with our accounts department.
