How bidding works on AA24
How do I place a bid?
Once you’ve downloaded the app, completed registration and KYC, and paid your initial deposit, you can place bids on any live auction. Simply tap the bid button on any listing and enter your bid amount. Your bid must exceed the current highest bid by the minimum increment.
What happens if I am outbid?
You’ll receive an immediate push notification when someone places a higher bid. You can then choose to bid again or let the auction run. If you’ve set a proxy bid, the system will automatically respond up to your maximum.
Can I retract a bid?
Bids are binding commitments. AA24 does not permit bid retraction as this undermines trust in the auction process. Please ensure you are fully prepared to complete a purchase before placing a bid.
How do proxy and max bids work?
Proxy bidding allows you to set a maximum amount you’re willing to pay. The system will bid on your behalf at the minimum increment above the current highest bid, up to your maximum. This protects you from overpaying while keeping you competitive.
What if the reserve price isn’t met?
If bidding does not reach the seller’s reserve price, the auction closes without a sale. No transaction is completed and no funds are charged. The seller may choose to relist the asset or negotiate directly with the highest bidder.
What buyers say about AA24
“The step-by-step process was clearer than anything else I’ve used. Listing my crane took under an hour and the admin approval was done by the next morning.”
“Proxy bidding is a game changer. I set my max, went back to site and woke up to a notification that I’d won. Smooth from start to collection.”
“The thumbs-up system is clever. Neither side can rush the other – you only confirm when you’re genuinely satisfied. That protects everyone.”
