How to Effectively Manage Cancelled and Relisted Auctions on Municibid

When auctions are cancelled and relisted on Municibid, it’s essential to stay informed and take proactive steps to manage these updates efficiently. This article explains how to track relisted auctions and the common reasons for auction cancellations.

Setting Up Notifications for Relisted Auctions

To avoid missing any relisted auctions, you can enable auction alerts in your Municibid account. These alerts notify you when specific selling agencies post new listings, making it easier to track relisted items. Here’s how you can set up notifications:

  1. Log in to your Municibid account.

  2. Navigate to the Auction Alerts section in your account settings.

  3. Select the agency or agencies whose auctions you want to track.

  4. Configure your preferences to receive updates when new listings are posted by these agencies.

By following these steps, you will remain informed about any relisted auctions, ensuring you never miss an opportunity.

Common Reasons for Auction Cancellations

Auctions on Municibid may sometimes be cancelled, often due to legal or procedural requirements. A typical example involves cases where the selling agency fails to meet local advertising obligations. In such instances, the auctions must be cancelled to comply with legal standards and ensure fairness in the bidding process. These items are usually relisted once the necessary requirements, such as proper local advertisement, are fulfilled.
