In it, participants have the opportunity to purchase a wide variety of products, some of which are quite valuable, such as the Xbox One and Playstation 4.
An auction, let's say, curious
What makes this auction curious is that, in addition to the high-value items, the lots also include a mix of seemingly random and large-quantity products.
For example, in lot no. 3, which offers the chance to acquire a PS4, the starting bid is at least R$10,000. But, along with the game console, the auction winner also purchases 6,000 cardboard boxes, 2,400 disposable cutlery kits and 5,000 plastic cups.
This combination of valuable products with simpler items in large quantities may seem unusual, but it is common in auctions of seized goods.
This is because authorities need to free up space for new items and also seek to recover the value of products that have been confiscated and cannot be sold separately.
In this way, participants in these auctions may be faced with unique opportunities and challenges interesting when deciding how much they are willing to pay for lots that include such a diversity large range of products.
