Simulcast
Exclusive to Motor Trade customers only, Simulcast is an internet–based service that allows a buyer to "attend" a physical auction from the comfort of their own office. Using the very latest online broadcast technology, the service allows the buyer to see and hear all the action from the Auction Hall and then, with the click of a mouse, bid and buy cars or commercial vehicles in real–time, competing against other online buyers as well as buyers who are actually in the Hall. Each Simulcast bid is immediately registered in the Auction Hall by a large plasma screen that flashes red
The advantages of Simulcast are:
- Provision of visual and audio access to physical auctions from anywhere in the world!
- Ability to view fully detailed condition reports of vehicles of interest
- Participation in the sale by simply clicking your mouse to bid and buy vehicles
- Monitor activity in the marketplace, to "keep your finger on the pulse".
So if you can’t leave the office, have a prior engagement or simply won’t want to waste time travelling, Simulcast allows you to "be there, when you’re not there!"
CyberAuction
Unlike Simulcast, CyberAuction is a silent "virtual" auction where ALL buyers are bidding over the internet against each other. With CyberAuction for Motor Trade customers there’s also no need to visit an auction site.
The advantages of CyberAuction are:
- All vehicles are prepared to same standard as a physical auction

- Ability to set alarm against selected lots in a watch list
