Sellers

How do I become part of an auction?

Host sellers for the specific auction register the auction for the day stipulating the following:

• Name of the auction;
• Date of the auction;
• Venue of the auction.

Bidders

Host seller's administrator will load the catalogue with all details of the auction and game available for the auction.

Bidders can apply online to participate in the auction. The process for this will be as follows:

• Bidders must be registered as a bidders on Wildlife Auctions website;
• User can register for the specific auction under his profile by selecting the auction the bidders wishes to participate in;
• Wildlife Auctions will send the bidders request to the auctioneers of the day for approval;
• Approved bidders will be allocated a bidder number and value authorised by the auctioneers. This info will be emailed to the bidder and will also be available under the users profile on the Wildlife auctions website;
• The bidder will then be able to participate for the specific auction such bidder has been approved for.
• The auction will only be available on the website for bidding at the time set for the auction. No bidding on the lots will be allowed until the auction has opened;
• Bidders will only be able to bid on the lot open for bidding. The opening of lots for bidding will correspond with the opening of lots by the auctioneers at the live auction.

Video streaming lag

Video streaming will always lag the real-time transmission. The delay on this site can be from 2 seconds to as much as 10 seconds depending on the user's bandwidth and connectivity. It is important to note that the video streaming on these auctions runs completely independently to the data transmission and users can therefore participate in all live auctions without the live video streaming from the auction.
