EXTENDED BIDDING:

Our auctions use the Auto-Extend feature. The basic rule is, there must be a minimum of 5 minutes for a bidder to react to a bid. If there is a bid placed in the final 5 minutes for an item, the ending time for that item is automatically extended to allow the 5 minute reaction time. If another bid is received during that 'extended time', the ending time is extended again--and again, if necessary, for 5 additional minutes for each extension. This continues and repeats until there are no more bids submitted. This 'Auto-Extend' feature allows the bidding process to be fair for every bidder and gives all bidders a chance to respond to any last-minute snipe bid(s). Items are Auto-extended ONLY if a bid is placed within 5 minutes of the scheduled closing time.

MAX BIDS:

Internet bidders who desire to make certain their bids are acknowledged should use the maximum bid feature. When you bid your max, the current bid price does not automatically go to your max bid. Someone else’s bid will increase the current price and the computer will automatically bid up to your max in the increments specified.

The screen should automatically update. However, refreshing your screen periodically will reset the catalog and refresh the whole page and eliminate closed lots. Also to the left click “Exclude Closed Lots to remove closed lots that are taking up page space.
