How does buying work at Auction Forge?

At Auction Forge, we offer a user-friendly and transparent auction platform for both business buyers and consumers. Whether you're a frequent bidder or placing your first bid, we ensure you can participate with confidence and ease. Below we explain step by step how the buying process works.

Registering and Creating an Account

Before you can bid, you need to create an account. This is free and quick via our website. During registration, we ask for some basic information to keep you informed and ensure the safety of the bidding process. After registering, you can log in and access all current and upcoming auctions. Your account also lets you track lots, mark favorites, and view your bidding history.

Discovering the Listings

On our website, you’ll find a clear and up-to-date list of all running auctions. Using search filters, you can easily browse by categories like forklifts, vehicles, electronics, agricultural machines, and more. Each product has detailed information including photos, specifications, and certifications if available.

Bidding: Simple and Transparent

Bidding is made easy at Auction Forge. You can place bids live through our site. You always see the current highest bid, so you can make informed decisions. Whether you're new or experienced, our system prevents confusion and keeps it fair.

New to online auctions? No worries — we offer a detailed Help Center and customer support to guide you. Plus, our website is designed to be easy to use, even for those with little internet experience.

The Auction Procedure

Each auction has a clear start and end time. In the final moments, if a bid is placed just before the end, the auction time is automatically extended briefly (this is called "time extension"). This gives everyone a fair chance.

After the auction ends, you’ll immediately see if you were the highest bidder. If so, you’ll receive a confirmation and further details via email.

Payment and Processing

If you win an auction, you’ll receive an invoice with payment instructions. Payments can be made using the available methods listed. Once payment is received, you can pick up your item or have it delivered if noted.

The entire process is clearly communicated. Have questions about payment or delivery? Our support team is here to help.

Transparency and Service

Transparency and great service are top priorities at Auction Forge. We clearly inform you about auction terms, costs, and any other important details. If you have questions during or after your purchase, feel free to contact us.

Security and Trust

Security is key. We ensure a secure connection, trusted payment methods, and a transparent bidding process so you can participate with peace of mind.
