What are the user fees?

Unlike many existing software of the same type, using the Bidding Machine is completely free!

When can I connect?

On the day of the sale concerned, a banner will appear on the home page fifteen minutes before the sale. Click on "access the Bidding Machine" and let yourself be guided!

How it works ?

Once you have logged in by correctly entering your username and password, click on the relevant sale date.
The machine will start if and only if the sale has started. If not, a clock tells you the waiting time.
At the start of the sale, a window similar to the visual below appears.

At the top right, there is an area showing you the current bid and the lot number corresponding to the catalog.
In the center, the visual of the lot, its title, its estimate and its description also conform to the catalog.
On the left of your screen, a list summarizing the passage of lots shows you with a green or brown dot if you have won the auction on one or more of them.
During the sale, simply click twice on the big "bid to" button to try. If no one outbid, the object is yours and a sound as well as an image tell you!
If someone outbids, a sound and a light tell you. Then outbid or do nothing if you have reached the budget you have set.

And after the sale ?

When the sale is over, go to the "my account" section, then "my lots won" to make the payment and possibly send your lots.
In case of problem, do not hesitate to contact us at (+33)2 48 23 24 10. Happy bidding everyone!
