The platform covers catalog and lot management, consignor setup, bidder registration, invoicing, payment processing, tax handling, and reporting in one system. Auction event types include timed online auctions, simulcast auctions, blind timed auctions, catalog-only, fixed-price, and perpetual events. AuctionMethod includes a mobile app for iOS and Android, and reports a 94% renewal rate. For operations whose workflows fall outside the standard product, AuctionMethod also builds custom auction software development solutions at a fixed rate. AuctionMethod's pricing starts at $100/mo with a $250 one-time setup charge. AuctionMethod offers a 30-day free trial, no credit card required.
