Unsold Lots
The cycle auction has finished but all of the unsold bikes may still be available via the auctioneer. Please contact me if you interested by using the Commission Bid form below to make an offer. If I get my act together, the unsold lots that are still for sale, will be lots in a timed auction.
A timed auction has a minimum bid which may not be equal to the reserve. Bids are made and bidders informed if they have been outbid. There is a nominal end date and time for the auction. This can be extended if there are multiple bids in the last few hours of the auction. It’s a bit like eBay.
