The auctions are ending every Monday 11 pm (CET) and restarting automatically the day after if the bag is not sold.
Maximum Bid System
The maximum bid system is commonly used in online auctions to streamline bidding. Here’s how it works:
- Set a Maximum Bid: When you place a bid, you decide on the highest amount you’re willing to pay, called your “max bid.” This amount remains hidden from other bidders.
- Automatic Bidding: The auction system then automatically bids on your behalf, starting with the minimum bid required to beat the current highest bidder. It will continue to increment your bid by small amounts (often the minimum bidding increment, approx. 10% of the starting price) whenever another bidder places a bid.
- Staying Competitive: This automatic bidding continues until one of two things happens:
- Either no one else outbids you, and you win the item, potentially paying less than your max bid if the competition was low.
- Or, someone else places a max bid higher than yours, in which case they take the lead, and you’re out of the running.
- Benefits: This system saves you from having to manually rebid each time someone else places a bid, and it can keep prices more reasonable by only raising bids when needed to stay competitive.
In summary, with a max bid system, you set your maximum willingness to pay, and the system handles the small incremental bidding for you to keep you in the auction as long as you’re still competitive.
Bid amount
If the starting price is 1000€, you can bid at 1000€, if the current bid is 1000€, then the min next bid is 1100€.
1000€ – > 100€ is the increment bid
2000€ -> 200€
above 2000€, it will be always a bid increment of 200€.
Confidential
The auction system is confidential, it means that other people won’t see your name. The username is masked.
Buy now
If you love the piece you can also decide to buy it direct at the buy now price. In that case, the auction will automatically stop and you will follow the normal purchase process.
Payment
When you win the auction, you automatically receive an email confirming the order and asking you to proceed to the payment. The payment system is like for all the other orders, by credit card “stripe” (3-D secure payment system) or by bank wire if you prefer.
Shipping
Free shipping and the shipping is always made by DHL.
