how do I place a bid?

Through the QSite (personal bidding website)

Step 1: Click the Auction Items button. Find the item you would like to bid on.

Step 2: Click the photo or description of that item.

Step 3: The Starting Bid or Current Bid will be shown. It will automatically add the bid increment, if necessary. Click SUBMIT to place your bid.

NOTE: If you would prefer to set a Max Bid, Qtego will automatically bid for you until you either win the item or are outbid. Enter the highest amount you are willing to pay for the item. You will be notified via text message if you are outbid.

By Texting:
You can also reply to any Qtego text message with the item number and your click amount. Ex: To bid $100 on Item 201, you would text: 201 100

Once your bid has been placed, you will receive a confirmation text from Qtego.

how does the max bid feature work?

When you place a Max Bid, you enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the item. Other bidders will NOT know your Max Bid. Qtego will place bids on your behalf starting at the next bid increment for the item’s current high bid. Your Max Bid will increase the current high bid only by the bid increment, up to your maximum amount.

If another bidder places the same Max Bid as you, the person who placed their Max Bid FIRST will be the High Bidder. If another bidder outbids your Max Bid by the bid increment or more, Qtego will notify you so you can place another bid if you choose.

MAX BID SCENARIO – EXAMPLE #1:

The current bid for an item is $100 with a $10 increment. Tom is the high bidder and has placed a maximum bid of $120 on the item.

Laura places a Max Bid of $150. Tom's bid is raised to his maximum of $120. Laura's bid is now $130 and she is now the High Bidder. Qtego sends Tom a text that he has been outbid. If he doesn't raise his Max Bid, Laura will win the item.

MAX BID SCENARIO – EXAMPLE #2:

The current bid for an item is $100 with a $10 increment. Tom is the high bidder and has placed a maximum bid of $120 on the item.

Laura places a bid of $111. Laura becomes the High Bidder despite Tom's Max Bid of $120 because his max bid is not $10 higher than Laura's bid of $111 (Tom's max bid of $120 isn't high enough to cover the next bid increment). Tom would need to bid at least $121 to be the high bidder.
