What is the starting bid?
The starting bid value is the amount we set as the minimum amount that we will accept to bid on the listing. If you try and bid less than the minimum, the system will ask you if you want to increase your bid to the minimum amount.
What is automatic bidding?
When you bid on an auction, the ""maximum bid"" you enter is the maximum amount you're willing to spend on that lot. Your maximum bid is always kept confidential from other bidders.
Once you enter your maximum bid, our automatic bidding process will monitor bids placed by other buys and bid in specific increments on your behalf each time a new bid is placed. If your maximum bid amount is reached and you are outbid by another buyer, you will be alerted that you have been outbid.
How will TechLiquidators prevent other buyers from making bids at the very last minute and "sniping" auctions?
If someone outbids the highest bidder within the last 2 minutes of the auction end time, the bidding time will automatically extend by 5 minutes. This feature, known as "popcorn bidding" will help all of our bidders get a fair opportunity to place their highest bids without worrying about auction 'sniping'.
What is the bid increment?
During the automatic bidding process, bids will be placed on your behalf in specific increments depending on the current price of the lot. Increments per each price range can be seen in the table below.

How can I monitor the status of my bid?
You will receive an email from TechLiquidators notifying you of the status of your bids. Alternatively, you can check your My Bids page to stay up-to-date on all of your bids.
Can I bid on multiple lots at the same time?
Yes, you may bid on as many lots as you'd like, and update maximum bid prices on each lot accordingly.
What happens if two customers place the same max bid?
If two customers place the same maximum bid, whoever placed the max bid first is the current highest bidder. The other bidder will be notified they have been outbid and will be given the opportunity to place a new max bid, so long as the auction is still running.
Can I change my max bid amount if I'm outbid?
If you are outbid, you can place a new max bid by visiting your My Bids page and clicking through to that specific lot's page. There, you will be given the option to place a new max bid amount.
Can I see what other customers' max bids are?
Nope! We keep all bids completely confidential, including your own. You'll only be able to see if you've been outbid by another customer.
I'm no longer am interested in a lot that I placed a bid on. Can I remove my bid and leave the auction?
No, once you place a bid, you are obligated to complete the auction process, including purchasing the lot, should you win it.
What happens if no one bids on a lot?
If no one bids on a lot, that lot will be relisted in a new auction.
How do I complete my purchase once I win an auction?
If you win an auction, you will be notified via email that your lot is now available for purchase. The winning lot will automatically be placed into your current TechLiquidators cart.
If I win an auction, do I have to buy that lot?
Yes. When you place a max bid, you are asked to opt in to a binding agreement to purchase that lot should you win it.
My payment method was declined. How can I continue to purchase my auction lot?
If your payment method is declined, try switching payment methods to a new card. Please be aware that credit card payments are currently limited to a $25,000 maximum. If your shopping cart is over $25,000, please select wire transfer.
