How The Process Works
At ACP, we strive to make buying and selling as simple as possible for our members.
AUTHENTICATION
All items listed on our auctions are within our strict standards. All items undergo a stringent authentication process to be listed.
INSPECTION & GRADING
Our experienced inspectors will check and assess the quality of each item with our strict grading process.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The interior and exterior of the products, along with any accessories that come with them (shoulder straps, certificates, boxes, etc.), will be photographed and uploaded to the website.
PREVIEW & PRE-BIDDING
Members have 3 days prior to the auction day to place their bids. Detailed information and photos of the products will be shared on our website for our members to preview.
REAL TIME AUCTION & VALUE PRICE AUCTION
At the end time of each product, whoever places the highest bid and reaches or surpasses the item’s reserve price will be the winning bidder. The two types of auctions are explained in detail below in the “Types of Auctions” section.
SUCCESSFUL BID
A member’s successful bids will be shown on that week’s invoice, which is sent to the successful bidder every Wednesday. Successful bidders will make payment to Aucnet after the auction ends. Once payment is received by us, items will be prepared for shipping at our distribution center and shipped off to the member’s designated shipping location.
Types of Auctions
・Value Price Auction (VPA)
The Value Price Auction (VPA) is an auction where you can place bid for a 3-day period, which starts every Saturday at 12:00 am and ends Monday at 5:00 pm, 5:20 pm, or 5:40 pm (JST) depending on the item.
