Telephone and Commission Bids
Auction house manager also provides you with a facility to keep track of any Telephone or Commission bids your auction may recieve.
Telephone bids.
Telephone bids are recorded on this screen. You simply need to provide the bidder number of the client who would like to perform a telephone bid, and the lot no of the item they wish to bid on. Prior to the auction you can print off telephone sheets which will include all the telephone numbers listed for the client. You can then give these sheets to your staff ready to phone the customer when the lot is coming up.
Commission Bids
Commission bids are entered in the same manner as telephone bids, but you also specify an amount that the customer is willing to bid up to. These commission bids are printed out on the auctioneers rostrum sheets so the auctioneer can easily see an commission bids that have already been placed.
