Background

Wildlife Auctions has developed an online auction portal, which will allow the wildlife industry to move into the world of online technology, with live game auctions for the first time in Southern Africa.

These online auctions are a joint cooperative initiative between live auctions & auctioneers and Wildlife Auctions. The portal allows the stakeholders in the wildlife industry to participate in live online auctions on the internet. It also allows game farmers and industry players to view auctions online via video streaming technology on the internet. This technology has been developed in conjunction with major players in the industry and will move the wildlife industry forward into the online world of the internet, thereby assisting stakeholders and the wildlife industry to reach all corners of the world, while enabling buyers of wildlife to participate in auctions from anywhere where there is internet connectivity.

The online auction portal was specifically developed to allow wildlife industry players to participate in online auctions on the internet without having to travel hundreds of kilometres to attend live auctions. For those parties who have a keen interest in following every single game auction, they can now view these auctions online and stay in touch with the wildlife industry by viewing all major live auctions online and keeping track of the bidding at these auctions.

Hint

The user can improve the speed of the live auction by switching off the live video streaming. If the user experience is slow, the user can improve his online bidding experience by switching off the video streaming from the auction. Video streaming uses a lot of bandwidth and will slow down the user's experience. Switching off the video streaming will still allow the user to bid online during the live auction and have all the functionality available during the auction. Only the video streaming functionality will be disabled.
