FAQ
You need a registered account in order to place a bid. When registering, you must enter a number of details, such as your username, password, name and address details and e-mail address.
You can apply for a new password here or contact us.
In order to place a bid, you first have to log in. Then click on the item on which you would like to place a bid.
If you are already logged in, you will see a block with amount choices and a ‘Place a bid’ button on your screen. If you are not logged in, you will not see any amount choices and a ‘Login to place a bid’ button. If you log in via this button, you will return to the item from where you have logged in.
You can only place a bid or a purchase order if the current highest bid is not in your name. First decide whether you want to place a bid or a purchase order.
Placing a bid
If you would like to place a bid, you must determine the amount in the selection list under ‘Your bid’. Then click on ‘Place a bid’. Your bid will be processed immediately and you will receive an answer to your bid onscreen and via e-mail.
Placing a purchase order
If you would like to place a purchase order, you must determine the amount in the selection list under ‘Purchase order’. Then click on ‘Place a bid’. Your purchase order will be processed immediately and you will receive an answer to your bid onscreen and via e-mail.
You can submit a purchase order (see conditions) that ensures that an offer is placed in your name, each time a certain maximum amount is reached. When someone submits a bid that is higher than your current bid but is lower or equal to your current purchase order, the system automatically places a higher bid than that of your counter-bidder. Consequently, the highest bid will be in your name again.
If there are many bidders, a purchase order always takes precedence. This means that a purchase order of 500 EUR will win against an ordinary bid of the same amount. If there are two equal purchase orders, the bidder who submitted his purchase order first will win the bid.
A purchase order is never visible to other visitors/bidders. Your purchase order on our auction website is only visible to you.
Telephonically placed purchase orders or purchase orders by mail must be received by Dreampigeons no later than 4 hours before the end of the auction. Purchase orders can also be entered via the website.
