Soliciting (asking for) bids from existing IRESE investors is not allowed under any circumstances. Even if an investor has previously bid on an auction of yours (which expired without funding), contacting that investor to request a bid on your latest auction is not allowed.

Investor who receive solicitations from brokers can easily report such messages as spam or abuse. If you are found to be sending messages to existing IRESE members soliciting bids, your auction will be withdrawn by IRESE, and your account may be suspended. Repeated occurrences may result in termination of your registration with IRESE.
