(Vehicles and equipment may also be sold without reserve for certainty of sale.)

1. Approvals (Reserves) At GIQ Auction you have control over your equipment. When you register your vehicle you will be asked for your reserve target price. This amount will be allocated to your lot and the system will sell only when your price (* or more) is reached. * Note that the reserve price does not limit the auction, it is quite possible that your lot goes up more than the reserve price. 
2. You can change the reserve at any time before the sale ends. No one except the seller can see the reserve.
3. If the final bid does not reach your reserve price; sellers which are registered as buyers on our website, your lot will show '' pending ''. During this period, which lasts 3 minutes, you can choose to accept or reject the last bid. For sellers not online, a representative will contact you by phone before the end to have your approval or adjust your reserve price. Click here to see how its done!
