Live auctions
Bid, snipe-proof, win
Each auction has a starting bid, a fixed increment, and (optionally) a Buy It Now price. Place a bid and your name appears in the live feed instantly. Timer counts down to zero; highest bid wins.
- 1Place a bidClick Bid. Amount is locked to the next increment — no typing errors possible.
- 2Or set a max bid (auto-bid)Set the most you're willing to pay. We bid for you automatically up to that ceiling — only one increment above the second-highest bidder. You pay what's needed, not your max.
- 3Or grab it now (BIN)If the seller set a Buy-It-Now price, you can claim the item instantly. 12 minutes to pay via UPI / wallet credit, or the auction reopens.
- 4Anti-snipeIf a bid lands in the final 30 seconds, the timer adds 60 more. No one wins by sniping in the last second.
Lucky Draw
Buy a product, win the grand prize
A Lucky Draw is a sweepstakes around a real product you're buying. You pay for the product. The Collector Entry Passes you receive are a free promotional benefit — multiple entries per product purchased. A skill-based question activates them. At the draw time, one entry is selected cryptographically at random.
- 1Pick a drawEach draw is around one main prize — usually a flagship brick kit.
- 2Buy unitsEach unit (a real product like an acrylic display case) gives you N Collector Entry Passes.
- 3Answer the skill questionA simple trivia/math question. Required to activate your entries — this is what makes it legally a contest of skill, not a lottery.
- 4Wait for the drawAt the scheduled time, the system picks a winning ticket. Winner gets a notification + email + WhatsApp.
Mystery Box — Deal or No Deal
Buy a sealed box. Take the deal — or open it.
Each Mystery Box has a guaranteed minimum value and a guaranteed maximum. You buy it sealed. Then one of two things happens: the Banker offers you wallet credit, or no offer comes and you can open the box yourself.
- 1Buy a sealed boxThe contents are hidden. The min/max values are listed, so you know the floor.
- 2Wait for the BankerAdmin reviews your box and may offer wallet credit instead of the physical item — usually 50-80% of the minimum value.
- 3DEAL or NO DEAL (24 hours)A full-screen modal pops up with the offer. ✓ DEAL = credit added to wallet (never expires). ✕ NO DEAL = we open the box and ship the actual item.
- 4If offer expiresNo response in 24 hours = auto NO DEAL. We open it and ship.
Wallet credits
Store credit. Never withdrawable. Always spendable.
Your wallet holds store credit only — you can spend it on anything inside Katta Kompany, but it can't be withdrawn to a bank account. Credits get sorted FIFO (oldest expiring first) when you spend.

Invite system
Invite-only. Earn more by being early or bringing good people.
Katta Kompany Auctions is closed by design. Every member is here because someone vouched for them. Bad invites tank the inviter's reputation, so members are careful about who they let in.
