Types of auctionThere are several types of auction.
Standard auction The highest price wins ! A standard Auction listing allows you to sell items to the highest bidder. You specify the start price, and people bid against each other in specified bid increments. Standard auctions allow the Seller to set both a Reserve and Buy Now price. When listing a standard auction, the quantity of goods is equal to one. Examples of standard auctions Auction : Unwanted fixtures & fittings,... tables, chairs, kitchen equipment, garden equipment. Auction : Excess or short-dated stock, (get some money back on stock that a supplier would refuse credit for!!) Auction : Old 'BREWERIANA' sitting idle in the cellar or shed, convert this into CASH !! The 'Meal-Deal' auction You decide : a) type of meal, b) how many people, c) date & time, d) minimum reserve price Sit back and wait for the bids to come in for those quiet lunch-times and evenings. Bookings are paid for IN- ADVANCE, at the time of the auction. Gain an insight into necessary staffing levels A new and flexible marketing tool which can be used to attract new or existing customers.

Dutch Auction A Dutch Auction is another name for a multiple item auction. These listings are for selling more than one identical item individually in an auction format. Rather than creating a listing for each item, you can sell them all, one at a time, with one listing. Buyers can submit a bid for one, or multiple items in a Dutch Auction listing. When there are multiple buyers for a Dutch Auction, the item’s final cost is the lowest successful bid by the highest bidders.
Shopfront Create your own customisable shopfront and set up adverts and fixed priced auctions that any user can browse and purchase. These storefronts are subject to a £99 registration for 12 months and subject to availability.
‘Request for Quote’ Let an experienced consultant take the pain You make the gain !These are called 'Request for Quote' auctions.They are private, ie no-one else can view them except you, your consultant and the suppliers bidding for your business Bid prices are received from a number of suppliers for the BRANDS YOU WANT TO STOCK. When the private auction ends, all prices are set out for easy comparison & sent to you for a decision. Not only that but promotional support & service levels are also included in the deal package. This is a new concept in obtaining the best market-place prices for your requirements, if you have any questions please contact us at rfq@pubnclubsupermarket.com to request a confidential and no obligation discussion,or phone 01280 821642 Note: a) There is no automatic winner in this type of auction , YOU decide if you want to change supplier in the normal manner. What we have done is taken the stress and time out of the negotiation b) This type of auction can be very useful if you feel ‘guilty’ about testing the market-place for prices , you can blame us !!
Fixed Price - A Fixed Price listing does not allow bidding. The seller specifies the only acceptable price for the item(s). You can sell one item or multiple identical items with one Fixed price listing. Because there is no bidding on fixed priced listings, all items are Buy Now.
Classified Ad - Unlike traditional text only classified ads, our Classified Ads allow image uploads and dynamic communication between the Seller and all potential Buyers. When listing a Classified Ad, you enter your asking price, the shipping cost, and any information about the item or service you are selling. When an arrangement has been reached between the buyer and the seller, the seller can manually end the Classified Ad.
Selling options
Buy Now - When listing an item, you may have the option of setting a Buy Now price. The Buy Now feature allows instant purchasing. The Buy Now feature is available for the following listing types: Standard Auction Fixed Price Reserve - The Reserve price is the absolute minimum £ amount the Seller will accept for an item. Buyers are notified after placing their bid if it is below the Reserve price. If a Buyer's maximum bid is greater than the Reserve price, the Reserve is automatically met and that user is the high bidder. The ability to set a Reserve price is only available to Standard Auctions .
