BIDDING & LOT CLOSING

• ALL auctions use 3 options for bidding:

  • Next increment, click and confirm to bid the next increment.

  • Specific amount, this is a hard bid of the entered amount. Item high bid goes directly to your entered amount regardless of increment.

  • Max Bid, this allows you to enter your maximum amount you’d like to pay and allow the computer to bid for you. You are high bidder on the item at the next increment over any bid another bidder enters up to your max. If another bidder enters the same amount, the first bid in is the high bidder.

• ALL Bids are final.

• ALL auctions are Timed Auctions. Items all begin to end at the starting time and close at a rate between 2 to 4 lots per minute.

• ALL Items have an “anti-sniping” time extension if there is active bidding at the end of the time for the item. Any bid placed within 2 minutes of that item’s close resets the close time to 2 minutes. This continues until no one enters a further bid.

• For your planning, every item has a countdown time/end time so you can plan exactly when you need to be on the site to bid if you wish.

• Additionally, you can click the “star” on the lot which places items you want to watch in “My Items” and you can follow them in this section.
