Hammer World features true auction pricing with reserve and make an offer. While the starting bid may be set at any number by the seller, the platform wide minimum opening bid is fixed at $5,000 with $5,000 bid increments up to $25,000, $250 bid increments up to $100,000, $500 bid increments up to $250,000 and $1,000 bid increments thereafter.

The minimum opening bid and minimum bid increments do not apply to Global auction listings.

Proxy bids allow buyers to set a maximum bid price and to have their bid automatically increase when counter bids are made, up to their maximum bid.

Instant bidding allows for a bid to be automatically entered which is the minimum bid increment at the current price level.

Winning bids placed within 5 minutes of an auction end automatically extends the bidding by an additional 5 minutes. This provides time for member notification that a previously winning bid has been surpassed.

By making a bid, buyers are making an offer to purchase a vehicle at the bid price, which if accepted, forms a binding contract to purchase the vehicle between the buyer and the seller. If an auction ends with a buyer meeting or exceeding the seller’s price and the bids of all other buyers, the buyer is considered to have won the auction. The winning buyer is expected to close their purchase transaction in coordination with the seller. If an auction winning buyer does not close the transaction by paying for a vehicle within the time frame required bv the seller, the seller has the right to rescind the transaction with no further obligation to, and without recourse from, the buyer.

Hammer World does not monitor nor process transactions. After the auction ends sellers and buyers are expected to cooperate fully to close the transaction and to arrange delivery of the vehicle. The platform operates on an honor system which if violated can result in the permanent removal of a member’s access to the platform. Members are encouraged to contact SC Sage regarding any issues of concern regarding an auction or transaction.
