Extended Bidding and Staggered Endings Policy:
Our auctions feature EXTENDED BIDDING. If a bid is placed on a lot within the last FIVE minutes of the auction, bidding will extend on that lot for FIVE minutes past the closing time. The lot will remain open until there are no bids during the extended period. This only affects lots with last-minute bids. Lots without bids in the last two minutes will close as scheduled.
Example: If you bid on a lot that is closing at 6:45 pm at 6:44 pm, it will extend until 6:50 pm. A bid at 6:46 pm will further extend it to 6:51 pm. The lot closes when the timer runs out. Check the countdown timer to see the remaining bid time for any lot.
Extending a lot's end time doesn't change subsequent lots' end times, so lots may close out of sequence.
Our auctions use STAGGERED ENDINGS. When we say an auction closes at 6:45 p.m., this is when the system begins closing lots, but only a limited number at a time. Due to this staggered approach and extended bidding, auctions typically end later than the scheduled time. Please consider this when planning your bidding strategy, especially for lots later in the sequence.
Maximum Bidding:
This auction features MAXIMUM BIDDING. When you place your MAX BID, the current bid price increases only when others bid. The system automatically bids for you in specified increments up to your max. If outbid, you'll have the opportunity to enter a new MAX BID.
