Las ofertas en vivo son de un período de en el que los postores pueden controlar las subastas y pujar en directo por los equipos subastados esa semana. Aconsejamos a los postores del sitio que se pongan en contacto con el vendedor del equipo en subasta antes de hacer una oferta, para reunir toda la información desconocida antes de pujar.

Puja máxima - Los postores tienen la oportunidad de colocar su oferta máxima - la cantidad máxima que están dispuestos a pujar por ese equipo -. El vendedor y los otros licitadores nunca sabrán la cantidad de esta oferta. AuctionTime.es colocará las ofertas en su nombre, utilizando el incremento de puja mínimo necesario para asegurarse de que usted sigue siendo el mejor postor hasta que su oferta máxima se cumpla. Si otro usuario ha colocado la misma oferta antes que usted, o una mayor oferta máxima, le haremos saber que usted ha sido superado por una oferta, y tendrá la oportunidad de hacer otra nueva.

Tablón de Subastas en Vivo - El miércoles por la mañana, AuctionTime.es mostrará las subastas en vivo.

Cuando ha accedido al sitio, el sistema de subastas en vivo seguirá sus ofertas, le permitirá saber cuándo usted ha sido superado por una oferta, cuándo es usted el mayor licitador y cuándo un equipo ha recibido recientemente una puja.

Usted puede hacer una puja en el sistema de subastas en vivo, simplemente haciendo ‘clic’ en la barra de puja en cada listado, que le dirigirá a la página de confirmación, o puede optar por activar la función de puja rápida.

Puja rápida - Al activar la función de puja rápida, no va a ser redirigido a la página de confirmación. Su oferta será aceptada con un solo ‘clic’ del botón de puja.

Extensión de tiempo - Cuando el equipo está en su última hora de subasta, cualquier puja que se coloca en el último minuto de la subasta extenderá ésta por un minuto más. Por ejemplo, si se ha realizado una puja a las 10:59 a.m y la subasta está prevista para que finalice a las 11:00 a.m, la subasta se extendería hasta las 11:00:40 a.m. Esto continuará extendiendo la hora del final, siempre y cuando las ofertas sean hechas por ese equipo determinado.

End Of Auction - Después de que la subasta haya concluido, una notificación por correo electrónico con la información de contacto del vendedor será enviada al postor que gana. El vendedor recibirá un correo electrónico similar con la información de contacto y la oferta ganadora. Convendrá a estas dos partes ponerse en contacto entre sí para decidir sobre los detalles de la transacción financiera y el transporte del equipo.

Grupo de subasta - Los listados de subastas con el mismo fabricante y modelo a veces se pueden agrupar. Todos los listados en dicho grupo se acaban al mismo tiempo. Si alguno de los equipos en el grupo de subasta recibe una oferta en los minutos finales, todos los listados en el grupo tendrán su tiempo extendido. Los listados de un grupo de subasta serán unidos entre sí en la página de subasta en vivo.

Bidding - Prior to bidding, the bidder has access to contact the seller with any questions they have about the machine, shipping, sales tax, and payment details to avoid any issues once the auction has ended. Once live bidding opens, all bids are final and cannot be removed.

Highest Bidder - The high bidder is expected to contact the seller immediately following the sale to set up payment and a time to pick up the item.

Selling through AuctionTime - The seller is expected to represent the machine to the full extent of their knowledge. The seller is not allowed to bid on their own equipment. If a seller bids on their own piece of equipment the bid will be removed immediately. Bidding on your own equipment or failing to accurately represent your machine could result in a revocation of your right to sell equipment on AuctionTime.

AuctionTime makes no representations, guarantees or warranties regarding the machine or the buyer or seller and encourages users to conduct any investigation deemed necessary. Furthermore, AuctionTime is merely a venue that brings buyers and sellers together and is not in any way a party to, or otherwise involved in, the buy/sell transaction between the buyer and seller.
