What is an e-auction?

The e-auction is a way of selling, as explained here by cgb.fr.
The purpose of this way of selling is to enable the price of the item to be sold to be determined by the participants.
Each participant makes a bid for the item by stating the price that he or she wishes to pay.
The person who makes the highest bid is the winner and only pays the amount of the bid that is lower than his or her bid increased by the amount of a single incremental bid.
For example: if two participants make a bid for the same item and the first one bids 170 euros and the second one bids 110 euros, then the first participant will obtain the item for 115 euros (110 euros plus the incremental step of 5 euros).
You can access the current e-auction by clicking on the following link:

How do I participate?

In order to participate in the e-auctions, and if you already have an account and have already made purchases from our e-shops, all that you have to do is to add a username to your account. Choose your username carefully. You can only have one username.
If you do not have an account, you will need to create it by following this link: http://www.cgbfr.com/acces_compte.html
You will then need to wait for us to validate your account (expect to wait for a maximum period of 48 hours so do not wait for the last days of an e-auction sale before registering).

How do I bid?

When you have connected to your cgb.fr account, all you have to do is go to the e-auction section at http://www.cgb.fr/eauctions.html and click on the information sheet for the item that you are interested in, enter the amount that you are prepared to pay for the item and click on bid.

Miser eauction cgb.fr

A validation window will then appear requesting that you confirm your bid by clicking OK.
Check the amount carefully because once you have confirmed it your bid cannot be withdrawn and you will be contractually committed to buying the item if you are the winner of the auction sale.
We advise you to enter the maximum amount that you are prepared to pay for the item. The e-auction system at cgb.fr will compare your bid with the other bids throughout the auction sale and will continue the bidding process on your behalf.
If another participant makes the same bid as yours but yours is made first, you will be the winner. You therefore have an advantage if you enter the amount that you would be prepared to pay for the item at the very start of the auction.
If another participant makes an offer higher than yours during the auction sale, and if you have not deactivated the e-auction email alerts, you will receive an email to inform you that your bid is no longer the highest and you will then be able to make a higher bid, if you wish.
You can bid either by using the information sheet for the article or your e-auction dashboard.

My maximum bid

When you participate in an auction sale, you bid the maximum amount that you wish to pay for the item. This amount cannot be seen by the other participants and you will not necessarily pay this amount for the item, since the price you pay will be the bid price that is lower than yours plus one bid.
The e-auction system at cgb.fr makes bids automatically to ensure that your bid is always the highest until your maximum bid price is reached.
Therefore, if no other participant makes a bid that is higher than yours, you will obtain the item for a price that may be much lower than your maximum offer.
When you use the maximum bid process you are not obliged to remain connected to the cgb.fr site.

You are the only person who can see your maximum bid price on the information sheet for the item or the dashboard for your e-auctions.

How do I add an item to my e-auction dashboard?

If you only wish to follow the bidding process for an item or bid later from your e-auction dashboard, go to the item sheet and click on “Add to my e-auctions”.
Ajouter à mes e-auctions cgb.fr
You will then be able to find the item on your dashboard at:
http://www.cgbfr.com/mes_eauctions.html
When you bid on an item it will automatically be added to your dashboard.

E-Auction Email Alerts

You can stop email alerts by going to your account at:

Incremental steps for bids

An incremental step is the amount added to a bid each time a participant bids for an item in order to set a new minimum price. It is calculated on the basis of the current price of the item using the following system:

From To Incremental Step
1 49 1
50 99 2
100 199 5
200 499 10
500 999 20
1 000 1 999 50
2 000 4 999 100
5 000 9 999 200
10 000 19 999 500
20 000 49 999 1 000
50 000 99 999 2 000
100 000 199 999 5 000
200 000 499 999 10 000

In order to be successful, your maximum bid only has to be one euro higher than the maximum offer of the other participant who has made the next highest bid. Therefore, the incremental step is therefore not systematically fully added to the next highest bid when the two participants concerned use the maximum bid process.
+
What happens if two participants bid the same amount?

If two participants make the same bid for the same item, the first one to make the bid is the winner.
+
Why is it that every time I place a bid, it's immediately overtaken by another bid?

It may happen that the bid you have just validated is immediately overtaken by another bid, if a participant has placed a higher maximum bid than yours.
The item description shows the current price reached, but never the maximum bid of the current winner.
+
Bidding at the last moment

If you wish to obtain an item we advise you to use the maximum bid process and bid the maximum amount that you wish to pay for the item as early as possible. Bidding at the last moment of an auction sale is risky because the time it takes for bids to be recorded can vary, depending on the number of participants, and you therefore may lose because your offer is not received quick enough.
+
Can I change my bid?

If you decide that the bid you have made is not high enough, you can increase your maximum bid price at any time. Simply go to the item information sheet and make another bid by entering a higher amount. It is not possible to lower a bid after you have validated it.
+
Can I cancel my bid?

When you validate a bid you become contractually committed to buying the item for which you have made the bid if you win the auction. You cannot then withdraw. Please read the terms and conditions of use for e-auctions for further details.
+
Can I change my e-auction username?

It is not possible to change your e-auction username.
Choose your username carefully. It will appear on the item information sheets when you have made a successful bid.
+
How do I know that I have won?

When an auction sale is over, the username of the successful bidder and the price of sale for the article are included in the descriptive sheet on your dashboard.
+
What happens when an auction sale has finished?

If you have been successful, a short time after the closing of the sale on all the items of the same e-auction, you will receive an email providing details of your purchases and a link for making the payment.
As soon as we receive payment, we will dispatch your purchases.
+
Are there any additional charges made after the sale?

The only charge made after the sale is 9 euros for postage to an address in mainland France and 18 euros for postage to a foreign country.
This charge is only included once for each sale, so if you obtain several items in the same sale you will only pay one postage charge, as you would for a shop order.
For e-auctions there are no hidden charges for the buyer to add on the final sale price.
18% buyer's fees are added to the final amount only for Live Auctions and internet Auctions.

+
Can I combine an order placed on e-shops with an e-auction order ?

When you receive your e-auction invoice, you can take the opportunity to place an order on our e-shops and only pay once for the shipping.
Once you have placed your order, send an email to contact@cgb.fr
indicating the number of your order and asking to group it with your e-auction order .
