How buying works

• Sale formats: "live & online" sales run at a set time and place with online bidding alongside, while "timed online" sales open and close on set dates.
• Accounts: equipment bidders register or log in on Pifer's equipment bidding site and accept the auction terms.
• Live webcasts: online users can join a webcast to watch or bid, and can ask for a text alert when a starred lot is 10 lots away.
• Timed closings: on a timed equipment sale page read, lots closed in a staggered order and active bidding added five minutes to a lot's close.
• Pickup: that same sale required a paid-in-full invoice before items could be collected. Fees and payment methods are not stated on the pages read.
