Reference format

The classic auction

Open bidding, highest bidder wins

The reference format: a seller sets a starting price, buyers outbid in turn, and the highest bidder wins the lot at the end of the countdown. Simple, transparent, effective.

How the classic auction works

Blisterr's open format: everyone sees the best offer in real time.

  1. The seller launches the auction

    A verified seller lists the item with a starting price and a duration (a few hours to several days). The auction starts as soon as it is published.

  2. You place your bid

    Enter your amount — it must exceed the current best bid. Your bid is visible to all other interested buyers.

  3. You follow or outbid

    If someone outbids you, you get a notification. You can keep bidding as long as the auction has not ended.

  4. The highest bidder wins

    When the countdown ends, the top bidder wins. Payment is automatic, the parcel tracked all the way to your door.

Why pick the classic auction

Full transparency

Every bid is visible. You know exactly where you stand against other buyers — no grey zone.

Fair, market-set price

It's the community that decides what the item is worth. No scalping, no arbitrarily inflated pricing.

Controlled adrenaline

You see the time left and the best offer. You decide when and how much to bid, without rushing.

For rare pieces

The reference format for graded cards, limited figurines and other pieces whose value moves with demand.

Frequently asked questions about the classic auction

  • What happens when I win the auction?
    Payment is automatic as soon as the countdown ends (saved card or wallet). You receive an email confirmation, then tracking as soon as the parcel ships.
  • Can I withdraw my bid?
    A bid is binding. It can only be cancelled in exceptional cases (obvious error, technical issue) by contacting support.
  • What happens with last-second bids?
    A bid placed in the last seconds can extend the countdown automatically by a few minutes to give others time to react — a built-in anti-snipe.
  • How much does selling at auction cost?
    Launching an auction is free and Blisterr charges 0% seller commission. You keep 100% of the final sale price.
