•Reserve Price- A reserve price is a price a seller can set

willing to accept for an
item."
•Reserve Not Met- It means that your bid (your full, maximum
bid, even if the full amount is not shown) is lower than the
"Reserve" set by the seller as the
minimum sale price, and you cannot
win that item with that bid.
•Reserve Met- It means that your bid (your full, maximum bid,
even if the full amount is not shown) is equal or more than the reserve price,
which means that
you win that item with that bid.
•Second Chance Offer- A "Second Chance Offer" is
when the seller of an item has been given the ability (authorized by Liveauction)
to sell you an item you
placed a bid on, but didn't win. You can buy the item
at your original bid price and all safely done right on LiveAuction (just as if
you had won the auction).
•SMART Membership- a one-time payment, which allows an unlimited
amount of free participation to all SMART auctions
• Acceptance- Participant's full and unconditional acceptance of these terms of use, which is done through www.liveauction.am site to site during registration.
• Organizing and Holding Auctions
•Some forms of auctions, as well as other conditions, are set in this terms of use.
•The auction is held as the starting price starts to increase.
•Any goods or service can become the auction lot except the cases prescribed by law.
•The public announcements about the auction is comprehended via www.liveauction.am web-site.
•Each auction starts and ends its day and time specified in the public announcement.
•If one of the participants bids during the last 3 minutes, the time becomes again 3 minutes until the end of the auction.
•The auctions can have different duration. Thus every auction are accompanied by the countdown clock.
•The winner of the auction is considered the participant who has submitted the highest price at the end of the auction.
• What's a SMART Auction?
SMART auction is the auction, where the item for sale may not be sold if the final bid is not high or equal from reserve price enough to satisfy the seller.
•What's a Reserve Price?
A reserve price is a
hidden minimum price—essentially, the lowest price you're willing to accept for
your item. If the listing ends without any bids that meet
the reserve price,
you aren't required to sell the item.
The reserve price is hidden from buyers. When a potential
buyer bids, he/she must pay attention to the message above the price that shows
either his/her
price met the reserve price or not. The auction continues until
the reserve price met, the listing shows the message Reserve not met. Of
course, sellers
aren't obligated to reveal their reserve price.
When you bid on an item with an amount equal or more to
reserve price, and your maximum bid meets the reserve price, then the table
that showed “Reserve
not met” will automatically change to “Reserve met.”
Note: If a seller's reserve price isn't met, they might
choose to offer the item to one of the bidders using a Second Chance Offer.
• What's a Second Chance Offer?
When the auction ends with the reserve price of up to 10% lower price, then the decision “either sell the product or not” belongs to the only seller and the seller required to decide whether to sell the item or not. Seller has only 24 hours to make a decision and during this period seller can choose the highest price offered by the bidder to sell this product, otherwise, the auction will fail.
Examples:
1.For instance, A seller lists an item with a starting bid
of $100 and a reserve of $1000. Bidder A bids $150. The current bid increases
to $150 but the
reserve isn't met. If nobody else places a bid, Bidder A does
not win the item.
2.For instance, Bidder B places a maximum bid of $1500. The
current bid increases to $1000 (the amount of the reserve) and the reserve is
met. If nobody
else places a bid, Bidder B wins the item at the price of $1000.
3.For instance, bidder G places a maximum bid, which is
lower than the reserve price. Let’s assume that the price that G bidder places
is 940$, which as
we already know does not meet the reserve price. However,
when the difference between the reserve price and the highest price offered by
the bidder is
little (up to 10%), the buyer gets an opportunity to get the
second chance offer. In this case, the seller decides whether to sell or not.
If the seller decides
not to sell, the auction will fail.
