Note on Dutch Auctions

When a user is selling large quantities of items or materials (for example; recycled aggregates) the total quantity to be sold can be divided up into smaller, more manageable quantities.

For Example:

The seller is in possession of 10,000 Tonnes of 6F2 stone. Buyers may not want to buy all of this stone, therefore the seller has the option of dividing the total quantity up, for example, into 500 x 20 Tonne loads and posting this item as a Dutch Auction.

PLEASE NOTE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SPECIFY QUANTITES AND UNITS WITHIN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM ON THE ITEM DETAILS PAGE WHEN POSTING A DUTCH AUCTION.
