Step 01 / 06

Big machines.New possibilities.

Find the right vehicle or machine. Review its condition, included equipment, location and total cost before you bid.

First register, verify your identity and wait for approval to bid.

Step 02 / 06

Your limit.Your next move.

Place a bid directly or let the bid robot bid up to your personal maximum. Check the cost breakdown before confirming.

Bids cover the whole lot. Late bids can extend the auction, so follow the current end time.

Step 03 / 06

The final bid.A fresh start.

After the auction has officially closed, you receive the award if your bid leads and any reserve has been met. You can then find the purchase in your account.

A countdown reaching zero is not a confirmed award. A possible post-sale offer is separate.

Step 04 / 06

Details checked.Signed digitally.

Open the purchase. Check the lot, contracting parties, amounts and terms. Buyer and seller complete their assigned signatures directly on the platform.

Complete details and both signatures form the basis for the next steps.

Step 05 / 06

Clear amounts.Clear payment details.

Follow your purchase’s payment instructions and transfer to the account stated there. For direct sales, you pay the goods amount; fees are invoiced separately.

Full payment must be confirmed as received. Existing lots retain their saved terms.

Step 06 / 06

Collect the keys.Put them to work.

Once signatures, payment and approvals are complete, arrange collection and transport. Check the condition and included equipment on site, then confirm actual receipt.

Resolve open issues in the purchase. For direct sales, your receipt confirmation completes the goods purchase; separate fees remain payable.
