# 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.
