We hope you’re just as excited as we are! As the bidding will start on Friday, December 12, we would like to take this opportunity to once again clarify the timings and process of our auction. It’s important to ensure that everyone fully understands how the system works to ensure a smooth and enjoyable week of bidding.

Bidding Procedures
Starting Friday, December 12, at 18:00 (CET), you will have a full week to bid on your favorite lot(s) and to see whether you’re facing any competition. This week is also the perfect moment to place a test bid, ensuring your account is fully operational and that bidding from your device of choice runs smoothly.
Trust me; you do not want to test the system five minutes before your favorite lot is closing.
Tracks & Trade operates a Timed Auction with Staggered Ending. This format allows bidders to place their bids over a set period, with the first lot closing on Saturday, December 2025 at 18:00 (CET).
Reserve Price
A reserve price is the minimum amount agreed upon by the seller and Tracks & Trade. This amount is not disclosed in advance, and the lot will not be sold below this value.
For two lots in this auction, lot 743 & 745, a no reserve price applies; these items will be sold regardless of the final bid.
How It Works
If your bid is below the reserve price, you will see a red notice: “Reserve price has not been met.”
If no higher bids come in and the auction ends, the lot will not be sold. You may continue placing bids until the reserve is met.
Once your bid meets or exceeds the reserve, the message turns green: “Reserve price has been met.”
At that point, you are the highest bidder and if no further bids are placed, you win the lot.
Important
During the active bidding phase, while bidding is still open, only registered bidders can see whether the reserve price has been met.
