ICDutchAuction scratch auction software is a powerful, scalable & fully-featured auction script that lets create the ultimate profitable online multi-language Dutch auction website with option for buy now. It allows to manage entire online auction operation: create new auctions within seconds, view members auctions and use the auction extension settings tool.
On Dutch (scratch) auction, you must scratch auction to see current price. Each time a participant scratches the auction the product's price is lowered. Once you scratched, you have a certain period of time, usually 5 seconds, to decide whether you want to buy the product for that price or not. The auction ends when a participant buys the product. You may have the courage to wait for a really good and low price - but do not wait too long because then maybe someone else will purchase the product before you!
Scratch auction begins a specific time and ends when a participant chooses to purchase the product for the current price.
Site administrator can choose between 2 types of auction: regular scratch auction and with option to view the price and buy it now.
