Question 1

Auction General Rules

Accepted Answer

While we manage the website and software, the transactions occur directly between the buyer and the seller. Therefore, if you should encounter an issue with an item, please first contact the selling agency via email and phone, before contacting us about the issue.

Most items are offered in a general auction to the public. Few items are offered under a restriction. If an auction is restricted, there will be a red banner below the photos that reads "Restricted to...", you may read more about restricted autions under "Restricted Auctions" in the help file.

Ask as many questions, or inspect the item before bidding.

All accounts start on probation, refer to "Probation" in the help file.

NOTE: You are responsible for your account. No matter who places bids from your account, you are the responsible party.

Bidding

All bids are placed online.

Auction Ending Times

An auction will end at its stated time, unless the item is subject to an auto extension. If the auto extension applies, please note the following:

1) It will be listed on the asset details page, directly beneath the “Remaining” time left

2) If a bid is placed during the final 3 (three) minutes of an auction, the auction's current end time will automatically extend for an additional 3 (three) minutes. This will continue until no bids are placed during the last 3 (three) minutes. Since most bidding occurs during the final minutes of an auction, this allows all bidders a sufficient amount of time to continue bidding.

Reserve Auctions

If there is a reserve on the item, it will be disclosed in the bid box.
If the auction ends without meeting the reserve amount, the seller may offer the item to the high bidder or re-list the item.

Payment

Each asset page reveals the payment and removal method as well as the Seller's Terms & Conditions.
Be sure to read the Seller's payment terms, because some sellers you pay directly, others use online payment through our system.
All sellers have a strict payment due date. If the item is not paid for by the time stated, the seller may lock your account for default, and you will be assessed a fee equal to 40% of your winning bid amount.

Asset Removal

Most sellers do not ship, pack, or palletize. Therefore, before bidding, contact the seller regarding any shipping or removal questions.

Question 2

Authorization of Release

Accepted Answer

Need a friend, family member or third-party to pick-up/remove on your behalf? No problem. Simply complete the Authorization of Release and provide it to the seller point of contact. To download the form, please click here.

Question 3

Bid Deposit Refund Process

Accepted Answer

The refund process can take at least 2 (two) weeks after the close of auction. Please monitor your e-mail address on file for updates once they become available.

Question 4

Bidding

Accepted Answer

NOTE: You are responsible for your account. No matter who places bids from your account, you are the responsible party.

You must be signed in to place a bid.

On the asset page, enter a bid amount in the "Enter Bid Amount" field, and then click the "Bid Now" button. Before placing the bid, however, here are a few important notes about the "Autobid":

1. "Autobid" is checked by default. If you uncheck it, you will be placing a straight bid.

2. Our "Autobid" feature will allow you to set a limit as to how high you are willing to bid on an item.

3. Any time you are outbid on this item, the system will automatically place a bid for you, up to your set limit.

4. At any time, you may lower your Autobid amount to the "minimum bid" amount or higher.

Once you've clicked "Bid Now," you're brought to the bid confirmation page. Review the bid amount and the seller's terms. If the bid amount is correct and you agree with the seller's terms, select "Agree & Confirm Your Bid." If the bid amount is wrong or you do not agree with the seller's terms, select "Cancel this bid."

Notifications if outbid

If the "Notify if outbid" box is selected, you will receive timely notifications via Text Message (SMS), WhatsApp and/or Email.

To disable outbid notifications, uncheck the "Notify if outbid" box before submitting your bid.

Please note that the Email outbid notification(s) may route to your spam or junk folder.

Can I retract a bid?

If you have an Autobid in place (e.g., $10,000), please lower it to the minimum bid amount (e.g., $1,000) by placing a new Autobid. This will increase your chances of becoming outbid. If you win the auction, however, please contact the seller immediately.

How to increase a bid

Place an amount equal to or higher than the minimum bid amount shown on the asset page.

Reserve

A reserve price is a hidden minimum price. This is the lowest price that the seller is willing to accept for the item.

If the listing ends without any bids that meet the reserve price, the seller is not required to sell the item.

As a buyer, you are not shown the reserve price.

Payment of the default fee will only unlock your account (must be paid via cashier's check or money order).

Question 9

Dynamic Bid Increments

Accepted Answer

Why did the bid increment change on the auction that I was bidding on?

Most sellers have a new feature called Dynamic Bid Increments set up on their auctions. This feature enables our system to automatically set and adjust the bid increment for each auction. These increments are based on the starting bid, current bid, or reserve price. As the current bid increases, the system will adjust the bid increments accordingly.

Question 10

Flywire - Direct Debit in USD

Accepted Answer

When you select ACH Direct Debit, you will provide your bank account details to Flywire to debit your account for the specified amount. The funds are typically debited from your account within 24 hours, and your payment will usually be available to GovDeals/AllSurplus/AllSurplus Deals by the 3rd or 4th business day after you successfully make your payment.

Question 13

How does an Auto-Bid work with a reserve amount?

Accepted Answer

When placing an Auto-Bid on an item with a reserve, the Auto-Bid is compared to the reserve amount. Here are some examples:

1. The Auto-Bid amount is lower than the reserve amount
- The bid is placed for the total amount of the Auto-Bid and the item reflects the high bidder as well as “Reserve Not Met."

2. The Auto-Bid amount is equal to the reserve amount
- The bid is placed for the total amount of the Auto-Bid (equal to the reserve amount) and the item reflects the amount of the bid as well as the high bidder.

3. The Auto-Bid amount exceeds the reserve amount
- The bid is placed for the amount of the reserve and the item reflects the amount of the bid as well as the high bidder.

A sealed bid auction differs from our traditional general auctions. With a general auction, you can see the current auction price along with the bid history.

You must place your best and final bid, and the bidding results will not be unsealed/reviewed by us until after the auction has closed. If you are the winning bidder, you will be notified via your online account and email.

Question 31

Shipping

Accepted Answer

Unless otherwise noted, most sellers do not ship, pack, or palletize. Before bidding, please contact the seller regarding shipping and removal.

Exporting

Export compliance is the responsibility of the buyer.

Transactions take place within a sovereign country. If the buyer wishes to export the assets they have purchased, they must comply with all export laws.

Customs is a government agency that is responsible for regulating shipments entering a country. All shipments being sent to and from a country must clear customs first. The buyer is responsible for paying any additional costs such as duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees.

International Buyers

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
