Quote:***Second Chance Offer Enhancements in Certain Business & Industrial Categories***
November 15, 2005 | 02:32PM PST/PT
In the next few days, we will make some changes to the Second Chance Offer feature in several Business & Industrial categories for capital equipment. When an item in one of these categories ends without the Reserve price being met, sellers will be able to send a Second Chance Offer with the price set at any amount below the Reserve Price, even if its higher than the non-winning bidders final bid amount.
For example, if the highest bid on a skid steer is $4,000, but the Reserve of $5,000 is not met, the seller could make a Second Chance Offer to the high bidder at a price of $4,500 instead of going all the way down to $4,000.
This feature will be available in the following categories, as well as their subcategories:
* Agriculture & Forestry > Tractors & Farm Machinery
* Construction > Heavy Equipment, Trailers
* Food Service & Retail > Concession Trailers & Carts
* Healthcare, Lab & Life Science > Imaging & Aesthetics Equipment
* Industrial Supply, MRO > Fork Lifts & Other Lifts
* Manufacturing & Metalworking > Manufacturing Equipment
* Manufacturing & Metalworking > Metalworking Equipment
* Office, Printing & Shipping > Commercial Printing Presses
