Open bidding is a form of auctioning where all participants can see the current highest bid. Interested parties can choose to bid more for the vehicle and raise their bid by at least the minimum bid increment. If a new bid is received 1-5 minutes before the bidding expires, the bidding closing time is extended by 1-5 minutes.

In a sealed bid, bidders place their own maximum bid without seeing the other bids. The bid amount can be increased until the end of the bidding period, but previous bids cannot be reduced or cancelled. The result is displayed immediately at the end of the auction. If more than one bid of the same price is received, the earliest bid wins.

The bid increment is the minimum amount by which a new bid must outbid the previous one. For example, if the highest bid is €1 000 000 and the bid increment is €20 000, the next bid must be at least €1 020 000.

The minimum price is the amount below which the seller is not willing to sell the item. This amount is often hidden and only becomes public when a bid reaches this amount. If the highest bid is below the minimum price, the product will not be sold.

This speeds up the selling process and gives buyers the opportunity to buy immediately.

You should set up a bidding agent if you are unable to follow the auction but would like to participate. You can set a maximum amount you are willing to pay and the agent will automatically bid for you, up to that limit.

Binding means that all bids submitted are binding for 5 working days after the bid is placed. During this period, the seller decides whether to accept the offer. You can only withdraw from the commitment to buy by paying a 15% buyer's premium and the bidding fee after the bidding closes.
