\nThe sale or purchase of products may be implemented in various ways. The products can be sold by Dutch auction or under the hammer. They can be offered for sale in a catalogue or web shop at a fixed price. Prices can also be established through mediation. Below we present the selling methods which have been computerised by Aucxis in different variations and combinations to meet the specific requirements of customers in various sectors.<\/p>\n
\nAt the Dutch auction, the auctioneer determines a start price from which the price moves down until a buyer stops the auction clock by pushing his buy button or the appropriate key of a customised bidding keyboard or standard PC keyboard. The sale takes place in an auction room but buyers can also attend the sale from their home or office.
\nRemote bidders have exact the same information as the buyers in the auction room: supply and transaction data, sales results, statistics. They have equal chance of buying and at the same time save time and travel costs.<\/p>\n
\nThis selling method is commonly known as \u201csale under the hammer\u201d and has been computerised by Aucxis in the following way: The auctioneer sets a start price after which a time bar on an auction panel is activated. The price counts down until a buyer makes a bid.
\nOther buyers may make higher bids within the duration of a predetermined period, indicated by the running of a time bar on the auction panel. This process is repeated until the timer stops when no higher bids are made before the timer runs out. The buyer who made the last bid, gets the lot.<\/p>\n
\nThe mediation method facilitates negotiations between producers and buyers or an intermediary party regarding product, price, quantity, terms of delivery, etc.
\nIn the electronic version the price of a product or lot is determined by evaluation of the above factors during a predetermined period. The evaluation is either carried out by the market maker on the basis of the information received or it is automatically processed by the system, via a specific built-in assignment procedure.<\/p>\n
\nAs Aucxis trading software is modular, it is possible to combine different trading methods in a single portal. The market operator (auction, agent or selling organisation) can choose the most appropriate tool to respond to the current market situation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
