Auction Rules

Full mechanics, caps, and disclaimers.

Entries

  • Standard entry — $30. Grants live participation and contributes a base personal discount.
  • Value-scaled pricing. Each auction's entry price and per-entry discount are calculated from the item's appraised value and shown up front. There is no randomness of any kind.
  • Per-user cap: 30 entries per auction.
  • Entries are non-refundable except where required by law.

Auction lifecycle

  1. Filling. Spots are sold until the limited pool fills (or admin activates the live date).
  2. Notification. All participants receive the exact live date and time by email.
  3. Live race. Your stacked discount is applied to your personal price; the price starts at appraised value and decreases every minute by the configured drop amount until it hits the floor.
  4. Buy-It-Now. The first eligible participant to click at their personal price wins. Auction ends instantly.

Fees

No buyer fees. No closing costs. Free shipping on every win. Platform revenue comes from entry fees and, where applicable, a consignor split disclosed to consignors.
