How Angel Auctions & DD Auctions Work
The way how Angel Auctions work is the same as that of DD Auctions. The only difference is Angel Auctions is a platform where Little Boy DD Auctions Ltd. offers free auction services for consigned items/units/equipment from caring people, volunteers, socially responsible companies, churches, charities, non-profit organizations, etc. and donates sale proceeds from Angel Auctions to the designated church, charity or non-profit organization.
You can try to find an item/unit/equipment you want to bid on by inputting keywords in the search bar on our main page. Once you have found it, you will have all the detailed information on the item/unit/equipment bidding page. Make sure you have read and understood it before you place a bid.
The amount you would like to bid must be greater than the current bid price and consistent with the current bid increments.
Bids are accepted in the following increments:
- $1-$9 ~ $1
- $10-$49 ~ $2
- $50-$199 ~ $5
- $200-$499 ~ $10
- $500-$999 ~ $25
- $1000-$1999 ~ $50
- $2000-$4999 ~ $100
- $5000- And UP ~ $200
Little Boy DD Auctions Ltd. provides bidders/buyers an option to use the automatic method of bidding, meaning that we will bid on your behalf up to the maximum amount you have indicated if necessary. Examples of automatic bidding process are explained below:
If an auction has no bids, and you enter a maximum bid of $88.00, your current bid is $68.00 and if nobody else bids, you will win the auction for $68.00.
If another bidder bids $78.00, we will automatically increase your bid to $83.00 if the bid increment is $5.
If another bidder bids $93.00(or higher), you have been outbid and will be notified via email.
As a bidder/buyer, you can choose to increase your automatic maximum bid at any time before the auction for that item/unit/equipment closes. Little Boy DD Auctions Ltd. will never exceed your maximum bid.
All unreserved items/units/equipment are sold to the highest bidder when the time left hits 0d 0h 0m 0s regardless of the bid price.
A reserve price is the minimum amount of price our consignor/seller sets for their consigned item/unit/equipment and not disclosed to bidders/buyers. Once the final bid price is lower than the reserve price, consignor/seller will have 3 options to choose: 1) accept the final bid of that specific item/unit/equipment; 2) realist the item/unit/equipment; 3) withdraw the item/unit/equipment from listing.
As a bidder/buyer, you will be notified via emails every time when: 1) you are currently the high bidder; 2) you have been outbid; 3) you have won the auction; 4) you are the highest bidder but the reserve price has not been met; 5) an invoice is ready for you to pay; 6) there is a pickup or payment reminder for you, etc.
Most items/units/equipment are subject to a 12% buyers premium/fee to a max of $1,100 per lot unless specified otherwise on each lot page. Please take this factor into account when bidding.
The description of an item/unit/equipment is a general overview based on a visual inspection only. We will try our best to accurately describe each item with clear photos. Personal inspection of items prior to bidding is encouraged. Both viewing and pickup times of items/units/equipment at our place or offsite will be specified on the item/unit/equipment bidding page.
All items purchased must be paid within three working days inclusive of the closing date of the online auction in which your offer was accepted or you placed the winning bid and must be picked up within five working days of the online sale closing. If an item/unit/equipment is not paid or picked up by the deadline, additional fees may be charged in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
If a bid is placed on an item/unit/equipment within 10 minutes of the auction closing time, that auction closing time will be extended to 10 minutes after the last bid. The item/unit/equipment will close once there has been a 10 minute dormant period of no bidding.
Since your bid is your contract, no bid retraction is available.
If identical bids come in, the bidder who placed the bid first gets the bid.
Your bidding privileges will be revoked if you default on making timely payment, fail to pay with your expired card on file, you don’t come pick up items, etc. according to our Terms and Conditions.

You can ask the seller as maximum as 3 questions for the item/unit/equipment you want to bid on if the option is provided on the bidding page.

Therefore, both buyer and seller must not share personal contact information which would be detected and shielded in the messages sent to each other during the auction process.
The amount you would like to bid must be greater than the current bid price and consistent with the current bid increments.
All auctions begin at a price not lower than $3 by default in Self-Service Auctions.
A reserve price is the minimum amount of price a seller sets for their item/unit/equipment and not disclosed to bidders/buyers. Once the final bid price is lower than the reserve price, you will receive a “Reserve not met” message. This means that even if you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction, you won’t win the item/unit/equipment unless the seller accepts your price lower than the reserve price.
All unreserved items/units/equipment are sold to the highest bidder when the time left hits 0d 0h 0m 0s regardless of the bid price.
