Growing concern about fraud in hard asset equipment online auctions will be a major challenge for market growth. Online auction fraud is now the most frequent crime committed in connection with online activities due to the sharp rise in participants for online auctions. One of the most common types of fraud in online auctions for hard asset equipment is bid rigging. Bid rigging frequently occurs during online auctions of tangible goods like cars and construction machinery. As the rigged price will be greater than what may have been obtained through a competitive bidding process, it stifles market competition. Online auction organizers post false pictures, vague descriptions, and false statements about equipment being sold in online auctions. After the buyer wins the auction and pays the price, the fraudulent seller sends a second-hand or refurbished item of lesser value than the item purchased. In addition, some online hardware equipment auction websites charge a shipping fee to ensure the safe delivery of equipment. Some auction houses charge additional fees for commissions and other intangible overheads. All these may hamper the growth of the market.
