🛒 Buyer Playbook Summary
Secure Payment Card Confirmation
Browsing local estate catalogs is completely open. However, to preserve bidding pool integrity and block fake profiles, all buyers are required to complete a secure card verification profile setup before placing their very first bid.
🎯 Prime-Time Closing Hours
Never lose a choice lot to a middle-of-the-night automated sniper script. Sellers customize their ending schedules to close during high-visibility evening hours between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM local time. A last-second bid adds 3 minutes to that specific clock, giving humans a fair, transparent opportunity to win.
⏱️ 30-Second Staggered Lot Closures
Items in a catalog do not expire all at once. When the final hour strikes, Lot #1 closes first. Lot #2 closes exactly 30 seconds later, followed by Lot #3, and so on down the asset index. This pacing lets you monitor and manage your bids across multiple distinct lots easily.
0% Buyer's Premium Guarantee
Unlike traditional auction houses that tack on mandatory 15% to 20% surprise premiums on your final invoice statement, you pay exactly your final winning hammer price plus standard merchant card convenience processing fees.
Secure Digital Pass Pickup
Once you settle your consolidated invoice balance online via Stripe, our secure webhook instantly generates a 4-digit Pickup Pass PIN. Simply show this passcode string on-site to the property owner to claim, verify, and load your itemized won lot assets safely.

Stripe Connect Account Setup
Onboard your financial routing variables profile cleanly using our native Stripe Connect Express validation loop. We never save raw checking paths or sensitive identification numbers on local database rows, keeping you safe from liabilities.
📅 Custom Start Dates & Closing Windows
You retain complete authority over your liquidation calendar. Select your exact public launch date when hitting publish, and choose your preferred evening closing window between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM local time to capture peak post-work user traffic arrays.
🎨 Residue-Free Painter's Tape Policy
To preserve condition integrity, avoid using heavy duct tape, packing tape, masking glue, or sticky tags, as these can ruin delicate wood finishes and antique collectibles. Sellers can label standard hardware box lots with masking strips, but should use low-tack blue painter's tape for valuable furnishings and items new-in-package.
💎 No Out-of-Pocket Costs Guarantee
Keep exactly 80% of your gross hammer values. There are zero upfront listing fees, zero card activation costs, and zero out-of-pocket setup bills. Our performance-based 20% platform deduct model means we are paid strictly out of successful marketplace settlements. If an asset doesn't clear your hidden reserve threshold, it stays yours with zero debt incurred.
🔒 Driveway Verification Clearance
When winning buyers arrive on your driveway venue layout to claim their inventory tracking sheets, simply request their 4-digit Pass PIN. Type it into your console to verify settlement, instantly clear the lots as accepted, and release your funds for payment!
