# Auctions

> Every **X minutes**, the server generates random contracts based on `config/auctions.lua`. 
>
> These contracts are available to all dealerships, but only those with permission to sell the auctioned vehicle can place a bid.\
> \
> **Note:** The server won’t create any auctions if there are no vehicles marked as available. Use the admin panel to enable the **'Available for Auction'** option on each vehicle you want to include in the auction system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.av-scripts.com/guides/dealerships/dealership-panel/auctions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
