Auction services debut on Trocadero in November of 2008 under the name VerVendi (our parent company.) Within the context of our Signature service, templates supporting unique page and site designs lend well to customized auctions suiting the auctioneer. Limited venue-wide auctions may eventually be supported in Beta for development and testing purposes. Bidders may register with an auctioneer as events of interest approach, or may register in advance with Vervendi now and more easily sign up with supported auctioneers as required.

Registration to bid is with the individual auctioneer. When first registering to bid in a VerVendi powered auction, one also registers a VerVendi user account before going on to request a paddle with the auctioneer and auction of interest. Card information is verified when first registering with any auctioneer. Once a registered VerVendi auction user, one need only request a paddle for subsequent auctions (regardless of auctioneer.) In addition to participating in auctions, other new services are being added for the benefit of registered users. These include automated auction notifications and activity history and eventually maintenance of a wish list, receiving notification when items of interest are added to supported venues.
