There are no public pages (no pages for free users), the minutes of the website are available only after login. There are 3 types of users, Purchaser, seller and Admin (Coordinator). The purchaser or seller all will contact the coordinator out of the website, and then Admin would create their access and fix roles. Uers are registered on unique email address. On same email address one can not be Purchaser and Seller.

Admin can terminate by stopping or pause or cancel the auction as per the need. The call of auction gives the privilege to the Purchaser the right to purchase but no obligation to do so. He can allow the auction to go worthless. If caller of auction (potential purchaser) is willing to complete the purchase then it should be completed in certain time limit, Else the call auction will remain worthless. It also does not oblige the purchaser to prefer the lowest bidder. It is fully purchasers privilege to chose the Seller. The purchase process is completed out of the website.
