What is a community auction?

A community auction is a curated, regional live event on a recurring schedule. Many local sellers list into one sale, and their lots run back-to-back through the automated live engine for a regional audience. It turns scattered local selling into a dependable weekly event — with the safeguards to keep it worth showing up for.

📅

Recurring & regional

Each region runs on its own schedule. The next event is created automatically; the lineup locks before go-live.

Only when it's viable

A viability gate checks minimum lots and bidders. Short of the mark, it rolls to next time instead of running a weak sale.

🤝

Agent network

Agents grow a region and earn through a configurable commission ladder — a built-in network model.

How a community event runs

03 — Warm-up & liveA countdown opens the event, then lots run live and back-to-back through the engine.
04 — Confirm & settleA seller confirmation window finalises winners before payment and handover.

Community auction FAQ

What is a community auction?
A curated, regional live event on a recurring schedule. Many sellers' lots run back-to-back through the live engine for a local audience of bidders.
How does the schedule work?
Auctions are created automatically on a recurring schedule per region. The lineup locks a set time before the event, then the sale goes live as one continuous event.
What is a viability gate?
Before going live, an auction must meet minimum thresholds for lots and registered bidders. If it falls short, it rolls to the next event rather than running a weak sale.
What is the agent network?
Community auctions support agents who earn commission for growing a region — a built-in network model with a configurable commission ladder.
How are sellers and buyers kept honest?
Seller confirmation windows, lowball/decline limits, listing caps, and buyer-strike rules keep events fair and reliable.
Is the community engine built in-house?
Yes — our own code, no third-party plugins, no per-module licence fees, and white-labellable or extendable.
