How it works

Getting started

1. Apply. This site is for businesses only. Apply with your company, trade licence and VAT details.
2. Get approved. We check your details, usually within one business day, and email you.
3. See the lots. Once signed in you can see prices and manifests, then bid or buy.

Ways to buy

Each lot shows which of these it uses.

How bidding works

You enter the most you are willing to pay. We bid for you, only as much as it takes to stay ahead. Nobody else sees your maximum.

Here is a lot that starts at €1,000:

Bid steps

The step grows with the price. On lots sold in boxes, the step is per unit. The bid window always shows the lowest bid you can make.

Reserve prices

A lot may have a hidden reserve, the lowest price it can sell for. The lot page says whether there is one and whether it has been met. If it isn't met, the lot doesn't sell.

The closing minutes

Auctions use a 5-minute soft close, so nobody can win by bidding in the last second. Any bid in the final 5 minutes sets the clock back to 5 minutes from that bid. This repeats until nobody bids for 5 minutes.

Sealed rounds are different: they end exactly on time.

Lots sold in boxes

A large lot can be split so you buy only part of it. For example, 500 phones in boxes of 50 makes 10 boxes. You choose how many boxes you want and your maximum per unit.

• The highest maximums get their boxes first.
• Every winner pays the same price per unit.
• You might get only some of your boxes, or none if you are outbid.
• A lot can set a minimum number of boxes per order.

Here is that lot, starting at €300 per unit with a €5 step:

All three winners pay €315 per unit: C's €310 plus one €5 step.

Sealed bids

In a sealed round, price and bids are hidden. You see only your own bid, so enter your best price. You can raise it until the close.

• Sealed lots are sealed from start to finish.
• Hybrid lots run as a normal open auction for the first 2 days, then turn sealed until the end.
• The highest bid wins and pays just above the runner-up, or the start price or reserve if that is higher. They never pay more than their own bid.
• If the highest bid is below the reserve, we may send that bidder a counter-offer with a deadline to accept.

Prices and VAT

• Euros. You bid, are invoiced and pay in euros. GBP and USD figures are estimates only, based on European Central Bank rates.
• No buyer's premium. There is no extra fee on top of your winning price.
• VAT. Prices exclude VAT unless the lot says otherwise. Each lot shows how VAT applies, and Margin VAT lots are marked in green.
• Whole lot or per unit. A normal lot is priced as a total for all its units. A lot sold in boxes is priced per unit.
• Times. The site shows closing times in your device's time and in Paris time. Emails use Paris time.

After you win

1. Invoice. YesAgain issues your invoice as soon as you win or buy. You can find it in My account.
2. Pay. Pay in full by bank transfer within 3 business days. Bank charges are yours.
3. Release. We release the goods once your payment has cleared.
4. Collect. Each lot shows its stock location and shipping terms. Unless agreed otherwise, lots are sold EXW from that location, so you arrange collection or shipping. Storage beyond 10 business days may be charged.
5. Check. On graded lots, tell us within 7 days of receiving the goods if units are missing, are a different model or don't work as their grade describes. Send the serial numbers and photos.

Alerts

We tell you when you are outbid, when a lot you bid on is closing, when you win and when your invoice is issued.

To follow a lot without bidding, press Alert me on it. We alert you 24 hours and 1 hour before it closes.

Alerts come by email. You can also turn on WhatsApp in your alert settings.

The rules

• Bids are binding. You can't withdraw or lower a bid once it is placed.
• Buy Now is final. Pressing it is a binding purchase. So is an offer we accept, or a counter-offer you accept.
• Non-payment. If you don't pay on time, we may cancel the sale, offer the lot to another buyer, suspend your account and claim any loss or costs.
• Our right to act. We may withdraw a lot or cancel a bid before the close, for example after an obvious error or a breach of the terms. We may refuse or suspend any account.
• Condition. Lots are sold as described on the lot page and manifest. As-is, Fault found and Faulty / parts lots are sold exactly as they are, with no returns.
• Photos. Photos are representative unless the lot says they show the actual units.
• Incoming stock. Incoming lots ship once they arrive. If they don't arrive, or are materially different, we may cancel those units and refund what you paid for them.
