Auctions That
Run Themselves.

Robot Auction is fully automated, server-run auction conduct — no human ever clicks Next Player, Sold, or Unsold. Each player gets a countdown timer; the server decides the outcome and moves on by itself. You can supervise from your phone or let it run completely unattended.

Every player that comes up gets a countdown. Each new bid resets the clock. When the timer runs out with no further bids, the player is automatically sold to the current highest bidder — or marked unsold if no one bid at all. The auction then moves straight to the next player with zero manual input.

Unsold players aren't lost — they automatically re-queue for another round, up to the retry limit you configure. The system tracks rounds on its own, so a player only drops out for good after being offered the number of times you've allowed.

FIFO Bidding keeps large auctions orderly instead of a free-for-all. At most 2 teams contest a player at a time — when a team is outbid, they get a short exclusive window to counter before anyone else can jump in. It's the difference between a chaotic scramble and a clean back-and-forth.

A third of your configured bid timer, with a minimum of 5 seconds — so it scales with however fast or slow you've set your auction to run. If that window passes without a counter-bid, that team is automatically passed and the floor opens to everyone else.

Yes — how the auction is conducted (a human clicking through, or the system running it automatically) and how bidding works (open to everyone at once, or one-on-one via FIFO) are independent settings. Mix them however suits your event: Robot Auction with FIFO for a fully hands-off yet orderly auction, or either one on its own.

No — that's the point. It's built for situations where a dedicated auctioneer isn't available, or you'd rather run things remotely. You can still watch and step in any time, but nothing requires your attention to keep moving.
