How to Make an Enquiry or Place a Bid on an Auction

February 13, 2026
Standard listings use an Enquiry Form, while auction listings feature a Make a Bid button that requires you to be logged in to participate

The platform supports two types of interactions depending on the listing format:

Standard Enquiries: For regular product listings, use the enquiry form to ask questions or express interest. This starts a direct email conversation with the seller.

Auction Bidding: If a machine is listed as an auction, you will see a "Make a Bid" button. You must be logged in to your buyer account to place a bid. Be aware of the Minimum Bid Price (the lowest entry point) and the Buy Now Price, which allows you to purchase the item immediately and end the auction.
