# How can I bid on a machine?

## If you want to place a bid, you can do so using the corresponding button.

Bids can be placed directly online: Simply enter the amount in the input field and then your contact information. Creating a bidder account is free.

If you already have an account with Machineseeker, you can of course log in and bid with your existing account.

Please note that bids are legally binding and withdrawal is excluded.

**Place single bid.** Here you make a one-time offer. This will be shown to other interested parties. You can make a new, single bid at any time.

**Set a maximum bid.** If you set a maximum bid, our system will bid for you in the smallest possible increments until your maximum bid is reached. You can increase this bid at any time.

As a bidder, you will automatically be informed about new bids.

If the highest bid at the end of the auction is below this reserve price, the bid is accepted with reservations. The seller can then decide whether or not to accept the highest bid. If the minimum price is met, your bid can be granted the guaranteed sale.
