A market built on verified participation.

Intellectual property portfolios, purchasing contracts, mineral rights and carbon credit units rarely have an open venue where price is discovered publicly. Deals are brokered privately, valuations depend on who happens to be in the room, and the seller has no way of proving the price achieved was the best the market would pay.

Market Link Auctions replaces that with a scheduled, rules-based auction. Sellers publish the asset, the terms and the closing time. Verified bidders compete in the open. The platform, not either party, determines the outcome, and the full sequence of accepted bids is retained as evidence of how the price was reached.

Intellectual property

Patents, patent families, trademarks, registered designs, software and licensing portfolios, sold with the registration numbers, jurisdictions and renewal status attached to the lot.

Purchasing contracts

Procurement, supply and offtake agreements offered to the market, including descending-price tenders where the lowest qualifying bid wins the award.

Mineral rights

Exploration and extraction interests, presented with tenement identifiers, area, permit stage and any conditions carried by the right.

Carbon credits

Verified environmental units, listed with the registry, vintage year, methodology and serial ranges so buyers can confirm the units before bidding.

Identity verification

No account can bid until a government-issued identity document and a proof of address have been reviewed and approved by our compliance team. Rejections carry a written reason.

Server-authoritative bidding

Bids are validated inside a single locked database transaction against the authoritative server clock. A browser cannot bid past a closing time, bid below the increment, or bid twice on one click.

Append-only bid history

Bids can never be edited or withdrawn. An administrator may invalidate a bid only with a recorded reason, and the original record remains in the audit trail.

Anti-sniping extensions

A bid accepted inside the final two minutes extends the lot by two more minutes, up to ten times, so a late bid cannot win purely on timing.

Bidder anonymity

Competing bidders see amounts and timestamps but never each other's identities. Winning prices after close are visible only to the seller, the winner and administrators.

Full audit trail

Verification decisions, listing releases, price changes, cancellations and emergency actions are all written to an audit log with the actor, the time and the reason.

All auctions are conducted in Philippine pesos. Winning totals are computed in the database using exact decimal arithmetic — never in the browser — and are made up of the winning bid, value-added tax and the buyer's premium. Platform defaults are 12% tax and a 5% buyer's premium; individual lots may carry different figures, and the exact amounts applying to a lot are always shown on the lot page before you bid.
