There are three ways to take part in our auto auctions:

1. On Website
2. Via Satellite
3. over the Internet

Since members can choose to take part in our auto auctions in the way that best suits them, many members from around the country participate in our auctions, raising our contract completion (sell-through) rate. And the more our contract completion rate improves, the more willing people are to put their vehicles up for auction, resulting in a virtuous cycle.

Used vehicles consigned to on-site auctions operated nationwide are auctioned once a week. Members can take part in worry-free bidding at on-site auctions, choosing from a wide-range of models and ages, since members can actually conduct preliminary inspections of the consigned vehicles. USS has on-site auctions in 16 locations across the country, from the USS Sapporo site (Ebetsu, Hokkaido) in the north to the USS Kyushu site (Tosu, Saga Prefecture) in the south. Satellite auction members and Internet auction members can take part in USS’s auto auctions any day of the week, since USS auction sites hold their auctions on different days.

The vehicles up for auction are displayed on large screens one after another. The screens are located in each corner of the auction site, and arranged according to car model. Bids can be placed on vehicles in about 20 seconds

Members take part in auctions at 16 USS on-site auctions and 14 affiliate auction sites across the country by using terminals exclusively for satellites. They can not only make limit bids, but also directly make bids for vehicles at on-site auctions. They can obtain information about vehicles in advance from their offices. They can also check specific details about the vehicles they are interested in by utilizing our “preliminary inspection agent service.”

The Internet has made it possible for members to take part in auctions held at on-site auctions. Participants can check quotation information displayed on their PCs before auctions and preview the vehicle’s details . Members that have put their vehicles up for auction can check the progress of bidding in real time.

USS quickly introduced information technology (IT) to such used vehicle auctions, creating a fair and efficient “USS Auto Auction,” which eliminates people’s self-serving traits. Then, we added a “Globe Network” service, which utilize satellites, and an Internet-based “Internet Live” service. Thus, USS provides the largest, convenient used vehicle auction service in Japan, which can be accessed from anywhere in the country.

USS lets its members take part in its auctions all over the country by providing a “Globe Network” service, which utilizes satellites, and an Internet-based “Internet Live” service, in addition to its mainstay “USS Auto Auction” on-site auction, which is held in various locations throughout Japan. We can boast a market share of 30% or more, the largest share of the Japanese used vehicle auction market.
