The auctions are open to everyone: individuals, professionals, public associations or bodies.
For some sales, participation criteria may be required for legal or security reasons (hazardous materials, etc.). Everyone is free to make a bid on a product of interest.
Some sales are restricted to authorised professionals (e.g. rolling stock merchant), in which case this will be stated with the header " Sale reserved for trade professionals ".
This is requested by certain vendors due to the guarantees on the material sold.
The fixed bid allows you to immediately make an offer for a product.
On the product fact sheet, enter the amount you wish to offer to buy the material, taking into account the minimum increase, then click on the " Bid " button.
Automatic bidding allows you to set a maximum bid on a product.
When you set a maximum bid amount, if someone else bids on that product, you will automatically rebid above that amount with the minimum increase. Automatic bidding is triggered up to the maximum amount you set.
Simply tick " Automatic " instead of " Fixed ", enter the maximum " bid " amount you are willing to pay for this product and click " Bid ".
For certain goods, and with the permission of the seller, a tab located below the price allows you to make an offer below the displayed starting price.
This offer will be considered in the event that no bid is made during the sale period.
