Thank you very much for your continued use of the KOMEHYO Auction.
We are pleased to announce that, in an effort to create a more comfortable and seamless trading environment for our members, we have revised the “minimum bid increment” rule for items listed under “watch.”
■ Background and Purpose of the Change
Recently, there has been a significant increase in high-value transactions involving the “watch” product.
Consequently, as the auction nears its end, there has been a tendency for numerous small bids to be placed repeatedly,
which has tended to increase the burden on users’ bidding operations, as well as the psychological and time-related strain caused by repeated auction extensions.
. The purpose of this change is to “reduce the burden of bidding wars” for high-value items and to “enable more efficient and speedy winning bids.”
■ Details of the Change
For bids on the “watch” product, we will be raising the “minimum bid increment”—the amount that must be added to the current price—for price ranges of 5 million yen or more. Please refer to the information below for the new minimum bid increment.

■ Effective Date
Effective for auction bids submitted on or after August 5, 2026 [*Bidding period: July 31 through August 4 at 5:00 PM]
We will continue to strive to operate an auction that is fair and convenient for all users. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
