Please allow for this flexibility in our bidding peocedure. We are not liable for any small (less than 20,000Yen)excess of your bidding price. This rule is non-negotiable.

If more than one customer bids on the same car, the customer who bids the highest price will
get the car even if your bid was high enough to buy the car.
