1. Japanese Auctions and One Price

    AuctionDirectJapan.com provides the most advanced online auction service online. Members can access the website and view the auction list (complete details and photos). After making deposit, members can set budgets until before the auction starts on cars you intend to purchase. During the day of the vehicle auction, AuctionDirectJapan.com will bid for the members on his behalf up until his budget. If the car is successfully purchased, it will be shown at the members account.

2. Online Auction Rules(Japanese Auction?and One Price)

    These rules apply to AuctionDirectJapan.com Japanese Online Auction System: Members can freely browse auction lists and those who want to bid/set budgets on auction cars must send a deposit first (please see DEPOSIT INFORMATION below).

More than JPY 1,000,000 Minimum JPY 200,000
More than JPY 2,000,000 Minimum JPY 400,000
More than JPY 2,500,000 Minimum JPY 450,000
More than JPY 3,000,000 Minimum 20% of highest bid

AuctionDirectJapan.com holds the right to bid 10K YEN above a customers set budget price. Although very rare, the customer must agree to purchase the vehicle even if the final bid price is 10K YEN(10,000) above his set budget because the bidding system in Japanese Auctions is extremely fast.

If more than one member places a budget on the same car, the member with the higher budget will get the car (if AuctionDirectJapan.com wins the bid). If more than one member places the SAME budget on the same car, the member who set the budget first will acquire the car (if AuctionDirectJapan.com wins the bid). The customer can make unlimited bids until the customer wins the bid, but on each failed bid, 1,000 Yen is charged by Auction House (We will deduct from your balance) and only 1 purchase will be allowed. Therefore, AuctionDIrectJapan recommend that you should check the "Recent Market Price" before you decide set a budget.

Members can change or cancel submitted budget BEFORE the auction starts. After the auction starts, the member cannot change or cancel his budget. If the member cancels his budget, the member will lose his deposit.

Exact auction starting times and ending times are NOT POSTED. This is because the starting & ending times of Japanese auctions vary from day to day.AUctionDirectJapan.com can only state auction time roughly begin in the morning and end in the evening (JAPAN TIME). Members must be aware of these general times when placing/canceling budgets. AuctionDirectJapan.com regrets any inconveniences caused by this. Therefore, AuctionDirectJapan.com recommends that if a member is unsure about the auction times and wishes to cancel/change his budget, the member should contact AuctionDirectJapan by telephone.

3. Informing us of Your Bid

    Please make sure you inform us of the correct VEHICLE/LOT NUMBER and BID PRICE. AuctionDirectJapan.com bears no responsibility for incorrect information supplied by you.

If AuctionDirectJapan is able to bid & purchase a vehicle at or below the customers set budget, the customer will be contacted by phone or email. And AuctionDirectJapan will automatically transfer the winning information into the customers account. If the customer cancels at this point, he will lose his deposit.

The customer must provide deal term and consignee information to AuctionDirectJapan within three days, which is required for a Performa Invoice that will be sent out once the information is received.

The remaining portion of the transaction will proceed in the same way as normal purchases from our stock of AuctionDirectJapan (please see Terms and Conditions).

    Customers must send a 100,000 YEN deposit to set budgets for AuctionDirectJapan's service of Japanese Auctions and One Price. This deposit is only valid for 1 purchase in the auction. If a customer wishes to purchase 2 cars, you must send 2 deposits. If a customer places budgets on 5 different cars but only sends 1 deposit; as soon as 1 purchase is made, the remaining budgets will be ignored (for example, if AuctionDirectJapan successfully bids & purchases the first car (out of the 5), the remaining 4 budgets will be ignored).

The deposit is completely refundable at anytime. However, the customer must pay ALL BANK CHARGES (transaction fees). If the deposit was made by credit card, the deposit will only be refundable 1 month after the payment date.
