Ignite Bidding Wars with Real-Time Open Bidding
Stop leaving money on the table with blind bids. Use the power of “Social Proof” and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to drive your hammer prices higher.
Why Open Bidding Wins
In a “Blind” or “Sealed” auction, bidders only guess what an item is worth. In an Open Bid Auction, they compete.
When a bidder sees that someone else wants an item, it validates the value. It triggers a psychological response: “If they want it, I must have it.” Selling Lane’s Open Bidding engine is designed to maximize this friction, turning casual lookers into aggressive buyers.

Key Features of Selling Lane Open Bidding
-
Zero-Latency Updates (No Refreshing): As you saw in the video, updates happen instantly. Old software requires bidders to hit “Refresh” to see if they are winning. We push updates in real-time. If they get outbid, their screen flashes RED instantly, triggering an immediate reaction to bid again.
-
Smart Proxy Bidding: Your bidders can set a “Max Bid” (like the $32,000 example in the video), and our system automatically bids for them in increments to keep them winning—but only up to their limit. This keeps them engaged without forcing them to stare at the screen 24/7.
-
The “Popcorn” Protection (Anti-Sniping): Open bidding often suffers from “snipers”—people who wait until the last second to steal an item. Selling Lane includes Popcorn Bidding (Extended Bidding). If a bid is placed in the final minutes, the clock automatically resets. This ensures you get the true market value for every single lot.
-
Mobile-First Design (No App Required): Your bidders are on their phones. Do not force them to download an app just to give you money. Our Open Bidding interface works perfectly in any mobile browser (Safari, Chrome), removing the friction between “I want that” and “I bid.”
-
Maximum Transparency = Maximum Trust: Bidders spend more when they trust the process. Our clear bid history, transparent increments, and instant notifications build the confidence buyers need to place that next big bid.
