Cat Auction Services and Proxibid are working together to provide the back-end systems for eQuipment Yard. Proxibid works with more than 2,500 auction providers and hundreds of thousands of bidders worldwide and – most importantly – they share our commitment to delivering premier auction systems.How exactly does bidding work?
Once bidding opens – and after you have registered with Proxibid – visit the auction details page to begin bidding. (To access the auction details page, click the “Current Auctions” tab on catauctions.com, then click “View Details” for the eQuipment Yard sale.)Once you’re registered, you can view the inventory and in most cases even enter a starting bid. Just like our live auctions, our eQuipment Yard auctions are all unreserved, so every lot you see will go to the highest bidder, and you’ll never be competing against the owner.
Once bidding opens and the auction formally begins, the countdown timer next to each lot begins winding down. Every time a bid is entered in the final couple minutes, the countdown is reset back to two minutes. Once the bidding slows and the counter hits zero, the high bid gets the win.
