Bidder registration & tracking

A bidder number for every participant

Each client who takes part in a sale receives a bidder number for that sale. Leave the number blank and Selloff assigns the next one from the range defined for the bidder type: room, telephone, internet or any other type you set up. Bidder types also feed the sale statistics.

A bidder can be registered weeks in advance or in a few seconds at the front desk, from an existing contact. Clients who bid on your website for the first time receive their bidder number automatically, and bidders registered on Drouot can be imported into the sale.

Limits, guarantees and remarks

For each bidder you record a purchase limit, a sales agent and remarks. The limit defaults to the client's own limit, which you can update at the same time, and it is sent to the connected live bidding platform as the bidder's credit limit.

When you need security before accepting a participant, Selloff emails a guarantee request with the amount and a link to your online payment page. Once paid, the guarantee is marked as paid on the bidder.

Everything about a bidder on one page

The bidder page shows the client's tags, activities, bid statistics, purchase limit and buyer's premium, and all their bids: absentee, phone, OR bids, offers, sales and live bids. From there you add bids, record a hammer price or print the bidder's bid sheet.

Keeping an eye on risk

The sale dashboard lists bidders with important tags, such as a payment warning, bidders with unpaid balances and bidders close to their purchase limit. The front desk and the auctioneer know who to check before the first lot is called.
