Review Of The “Sniper Rule”

In this version of the auction, there will be what is known as the “sniper rule”, to try and curb the rather frenetic and often needlessly aggressive bidding right before each auction closes. Here’s how this will work:

In the final five minutes of each auction cycle, the “sniper rule” will go into effect. At this point, biding will become restricted, and any bids placed will be drawn from each bidder’s pool of five snipe bids. These bids are non-refundable, regardless of that bid winning or losing the auction, so use them wisely.


Thank you all for sending in auction lots; just a quick reminder that registration for bidders will continue until further notice, if you still want to participate!

Be sure to come back for the first round of auctions starting at 0900UTC on Friday! (5am EST, 1100 CEST)

So, just putting this out there:

How many of us are actually able to afford to put in the starting bid for Lot 104?

Coz I can tell you now that’s nearly twice my budget :thinking:

Well, I’ve lodged an enquiry about that, we’ll see what happens because as it stands I forsee nobody in their right minds is gonna bid for that actually why am I saying this, who the hell in their right minds buys a GG car anyway :joy:

However, Lot 105 is somewhat affordable. You know you want it :wink: I mean, how many cars here have legit 2000hp yet remain drivable?

Love it or hate it, it’s the most distinctive design around.

What happens to the cars after they have been sold? Do they get PMed to the winning bidder? Especially since this wasn’t the case in the previous auction.
