Using Auto-Bid to Set a Max Price on a Vehicle

Joyride’s auto-bid functionality makes it easy to win vehicles without having to participate in a live auction. Here’s how: 

• Prior to a live auction, click the Auto Bid button and set a maximum bid amount. 
• Adjust your max bid using the +/- controls or by typing in your max bid amount. 

• To confirm your bid, click Set Max Bid. 

• During a live auction, this max bid will automatically take the winning bid by the minimum increment. 

• Example: If the current bid is $550 and you set a max bid of $1000, the system will automatically submit a $575 bid for you.   

• You will automatically bid over competing bids by the minimum incremental amount until your max bid price is met. 

• Example: If you have set a max bid at $1000 and the current highest bid is $575, but a different buyer bids $600, the system will automatically place a $625 bid for you.  

• Once a max bid price is set, it can be removed as long as your max bid price is not the current winning price. 

• If you are the current winning bidder at a lower price than your maximum bid amount, your max bid can be removed so no further automatic bidding occurs, but you will continue to be the current winning bidder.
