Adding an ItemBid Lot
|
For ItemBid lots, bidding occurs at the item level. This allows bidders to place bids on an item-by item basis during a Live Event. The item bids then roll up to the total lot bid, which is how bidders see their ranking - by lot. You must include at least one item in an ItemBid lot.
When a bidder submits item bids during the Live Event, each item's lot group and lot properties still apply. To review ItemBids after the Live Event, use the ItemBid Report.

Fields in ItemBid Lot Properties
Bidders see a tie indicator when they are tied for first place.
For users who import lots and items from a spreadsheet, you can create an Allow Tie Bids column with a "Yes” indicating that tie bids should be allowed for the lot or item in that row and a "No” preventing tie bids for first place bids.
NOTE: This option is a powerful tool when used in conjunction with FlexRank or FlexBid. Closed lots do not open for bidding, but they can still be included in a bidder's analysis to show how they compare with their competitors. This is typically used for fixed costs, such as freight. You can also ask that final bids be submitted for unopened lots prior to the Live Event and, using Bid Management, submit the bids prior to the Live Event so bidders can compete with consideration to their bids on lots that are not open for live bidding.
