Do you own an Auction business? Then, get online with the Techtown Online Auction system
This system is specially built for selling large numbers of items in a few hours. You have the possibility to set up auctions in first and then let it go active at a preset time. When it’s only 10 minutes left you will get a countdown ticker, and the time left is increased if one object is bid on. This removes the possibility to do a small last second bid.
The system can set the time for all objects in an auction batch automatically, so you want to sell 250 objects in 2 hour the system will split the objects in 120 groups one for each minute and start closing bids on the set time.
You also have auto increase on you bids: You find an object that is sold for $20 the day before the auction, it has one bid on $25. You can then bid $30, but if you don’t want to sit and watch you can bid $100 if that is as high as you want to go. The bid is increased to $30 and nobody see that you will go to 100, if some else bid $50, your bid is increased to $55 automatically. This will continue up to $100; if somebody bid $110 he will get the bid if you don’t increase your bid.
You will get a periodic status mail of your bids and you can also get automatic mail when you lose the bid on an object.
You can set up multiple independent auctions at different times; typically you will upload a batch with objects and set the sale date on them. If an object did not get any bid, it will be sold at the start price after the auction is closed.
With our SMS Warning system, the bidders can even receive an SMS/text message on their cell phone, warning them if their bid has been exceeded and let them increase the offer by confirming a simple text message.
