How to set up Auto Increments

Auto increments can be used for both timed and webcast auctions. They must be entered into the system using a specific format. (You can find an increment builder attached at the bottom of this article.)

Increments must be entered in their smallest denomination (e.g. pence for GBP, cents for USD, etc.). The increment builder will format this for you accordingly.

Example: Auto Increment Table in Bidlogix

Auto Increment in Bidlogix (in pence)

Bid increment explanation

1000<20000

up to 200, increment is 10

2000<50000

from 200 -500, increment is is 20

5000<100000

from 500 -1000 increment is 50

10000<200000

from 1000 - 2000, increment is 100

20000<500000

from 2000-5000 , increment is 200

50000<1000000

from 5000-10000, increment is 500

100000

from 10000 onwards increment is 1,000

How to Add Your Increments

  1. Create your increment table using the builder at the bottom of this page by filling in the From, To, and Increment columns.

  2. Select and copy the contents of the column labelled ‘Bidlogix Auto-Increments’.

Apply Increments in the Auctioneer Settings

Now you will need to edit your Auctioneer settings. Click here to see how you access your auctioneer settings.

  1. Go to the Main Settings tab.

  2. Scroll down to the Bidding section.

  3. Paste your pre-formatted increments into the Auto Increments field.

🔔 Important:
The last increment must be a number only (e.g. 100000), not a range.
If your table ends with a range (e.g. 10000<1000000), remove the < and everything after it.

4. If using auto increments for timed auctions, tick the checkbox below the Auto Increments field.

5. Click Save Auctioneer on either the top or bottom of the screen.

🔧 You may need to enable auto increments in the webcast console for them to take effect in webcast auctions.

Please Note

  • Decimalised bidding is supported in webcast auctions, but not in timed auctions.
    Timed auctions only support whole values, so the minimum increment must be 1 of your selected currency (e.g. 1 pound).

  • Switching between manual and dynamic increments in the webcast console may cause other webcast auctions to switch as well—even if they are still in pre-bidding.
