  2. Notification. All participants receive the exact live date and time by email.
  3. Live race. Mystery discounts are revealed; 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.
