The Scalable Auction System operates as a dynamic and responsive live auction website, where it serves as a platform to engage in live bidding for items in various categories. Users can sign in/ create an account, after which they can bid on items, create bids for items they wish/ intend to sell, etc. Users can also manage their portfolio/ items in their dashboard section.
