LotWagon Drops

Real stock.
Surprise start.
Clear rules.

Selected seller inventory opens for two-hour bidding — with no public schedule. Follow what you need and we alert you the moment it goes live. Soft close, server time, document-backed listings.

No Drop live right now— the next one starts without notice
Live now

Quiet — for now

No Drop is open at the moment.

Drops start without a public calendar. We never show fake countdowns or placeholder events — when this space lights up, it’s real stock you can bid on.

How it works

From alert to winning bid

  1. 01

    Follow what you need

    Pick an item or category and tell us your brief. That's how we decide which stock goes into a Drop.

  2. 02

    A Drop opens — no schedule

    A seller allocates a real unit. The Drop goes live here and followers get an alert at the same moment.

  3. 03

    Two hours to bid

    Set your maximum. The system bids for you only as much as needed to keep the lead.

  4. 04

    Soft close decides it

    A bid in the last 2 minutes adds time, so nobody wins by a last-second snipe.

The rules

Two hours. Then soft close.

Every Drop opens with a 2-hour window. Any accepted bid that raises the price in the final 2 minutes resets the clock to 2 minutes. The Drop ends only when 2 minutes pass with no new price-raising bid — so it can run past two hours.

  • Server time only

    Every bid is timed and ordered by our server. Your device clock never decides who wins.

  • Ties go to the earlier bid

    If two maximum bids are equal, the one accepted first keeps the lead.

  • Reserve status is visible

    Each Drop shows whether it has a reserve and whether it has been met. The amount stays private.

  • Max bids stay private

    No one — not other bidders, not the seller — sees your maximum or your identity.

  • No seller bidding

    Sellers and related accounts cannot bid on their own Drops. Accounts are reviewed before approval.

  • The unit is exclusive

    A unit in a Drop is removed from Buy and Offer for that time. No double-selling.

After every bid you see one clear status: “You’re the high bidder” or “You’ve been outbid — new minimum $X”. Confirmed only after the server records it.

Drop alerts

Be there when it opens.

Drops don’t follow a calendar, so alerts are the only way to be first. Tell us what you need — the stock that buyers ask for is the stock we bring into Drops.

  • One alert per Drop that matches you — no daily spam
  • Unsubscribe or pause any time
  • Following never places a bid or charges a card
What should we alert you about?
Buying brief optional — helps match Drops to real needs

Your budget is never shown to sellers or other buyers.

Where do we reach you?

Following is not a bid and never authorizes a charge.

Questions

Drops FAQ

Why don’t you publish a Drop schedule?

Drops open when a seller allocates a unit and buyers have asked for it. Without a fixed calendar, followers get the same alert at the same moment — fair for everyone, and no one has to watch the site all day.

Will a Drop always end at exactly two hours?

No. Two hours is the opening window. A price-raising bid in the last two minutes extends the close, and that can repeat. The current end time is always shown on the Drop.

Who can bid?

Approved bidder accounts. Request a bidder account — we review each request and email your access key once approved. Sellers and related accounts cannot bid on their own Drops.

What happens after I win?

You receive the seller’s invoice and the published payment, pickup and inspection terms for that Drop. Those terms are shown before you bid and do not change after the first bid.

Can I still buy or make an offer on items in a Drop?

Not on the unit allocated to the Drop while it runs. Other units of the same model, if any, stay available through Request to Buy and Make Offer.

I’m a seller — can I put stock in a Drop?

Yes, by invitation during the pilot. You choose the unit, the starting bid and whether there is a reserve; we schedule the opening. Sell with LotWagon.
