At Ritchie Bros., we are committed to continuously enhancing our bidding platform to deliver an industry-best auction experience. Our new real-time bidding feature for Timed Auctions (TAL) is designed to enhance your experience by providing critical information at a glance, right from the search results.
Users can now view real-time TAL information directly from the auction event search results. This includes:
- The item’s closing time
- Countdown clock
- Current high bid.
Additionally, if a user has placed a bid, the item card will turn green if they are the highest bidder and red if they have been outbid. This highly requested feature eliminates the need to enter an auction or drill down onto an item details page just to see the current price, or a user’s bid status.
Please note that bidding functionality from the auction inventory listings will be added at a later date.
Stay informed instantly
No more clicking through multiple pages to find out the status of your bids. With real-time updates on the item’s closing time, countdown clock, and current high bid, you can make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
Bid with confidence
The color-coded item cards offer immediate visual feedback on your bidding status. If you’re the highest bidder, the green card gives you peace of mind. If you’ve been outbid, the red card alerts you instantly, so you can decide your next move without delay.
Save time and effort
By displaying all essential information directly in the search results, we save you the hassle of navigating through detailed item pages. This streamlined process means you can focus more on strategizing your bids and less on searching for information.
Enhanced user experience
This feature is a direct response to user feedback. We listened to your needs and have worked diligently to create a more intuitive and user-friendly auction platform. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we believe this update will significantly improve your overall experience.
