Kobe Auction Market (KAM) is operated by pre-registered dealers who hold a secondhand dealer license.

Pre-registration requires an admission fee of ¥20,000 and a participation fee of ¥2,000.

New members must be recommended by at least one existing KAM registrant.
The recommender must contact KAM in advance.
If there is no recommender, an interview will be conducted.

KAM is held every Thursday and starts at 9:00 AM in principle.

The KAM fee is 10% for sellers and 5% for buyers, to be settled on the same day as a principle.

All transactions within the market are via auction. Private sales and collusion are prohibited.

Delivery of sale items is permitted from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on days other than market days.

On market days, delivery must be completed by 8:30 AM.

For safety reasons, slippers and sandals are prohibited on delivery days and the event day.

Loading, display, and labeling of products must follow the method specified by KAM.

The final transaction price will be determined by the auctioneer.

Prohibited items include those that violate the law, public order, or are deemed inappropriate by the organizer.

Payment for purchases must be made on the same day as a rule.

Items successfully traded should be taken out on the same day. If difficult, they must be removed within 3 days after approval from the organizer.

Returned or unsold items must be removed within 3 days.

Damage or loss of items in the market is the responsibility of the individual. KAM is not liable.

Returns must be reported to KAM and completed within 2 weeks.
(Returns are not accepted if the item does not arrive within 2 weeks.)

Regarding Refunds

Settlement of sales proceeds will be made by bank transfer on the Monday (or Tuesday if a holiday) after the auction ends.

If settlement is delayed due to special circumstances, the transfer fee will be borne by the buyer or seller.

Market disputes will be resolved at the discretion of the organizer.
