After the auction
Which bid decides the end of the auction?
If no more bids are received from the face-to-face event or the online auction, the auctioneer closes the current bid with the "electronic hammer". This signal closes the auction with the last and highest offer, both on site and online.
In a pure online auction, the final auctioning will begin at the announced time in 3 minute intervals. Each bid added after the final auction of an animal starts a new 3-minute countdown.
For example, how will I be informed about a surcharge?
As an online bidder, you will be informed directly about the award by push notification and / or e-mail. After the auction we will contact you by e-mail / telephone to arrange payment and, if necessary, the transport of your animal(s).
