For automatic bids, the maximum price ceiling is 150% of the current auction price.

Felling price calculator
We have developed a felling price calculator where, by choosing the assortment group, the liquid volume to be felled and the region, it is possible to determine the approximate market value of your felling quickly and free of charge.
Registration is not required to use the felling price calculator. The calculator can be found here - Felling price calculator.
Felling purchase agreement
A felling purchase agreement (FPA), like any agreement, is an agreement between the parties - between the seller and the buyer.
- If you have bid the felling - offered the highest price, then you get the right to conclude an LPA.
- Agreement on the terms of the LPA is between you and the seller. If one of the conditions of the LPA is still not acceptable to you, it can be supplemented or amended. The coordination depends on the extent to which the seller will be ready to compromise the purchase conditions he has set for the felling to be sold.
Here you can download and familiarize yourself with the sample felling purchase agreement, which is based on the Forest Consulting Services Center (FCSC) sample agreement: Download Felling Agreement Sample.
