Bidders may also discover if they are outbid by refreshing the individual lot information or the entire screen.

By placing a bid, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth by each auction company and expressly acknowledge and affirm that you have read and are familiar with the terms and conditions of each auction company as well as the terms and conditions of each auction. The Auctioneer/Auction Company has the sole discretion to advance the bidding and may reject any injurious bids to the auction, including but not limited to minimal suspicious and suspect advances.

STAGGERED ENDING:
This auction utilizes a staggered end time of 10 Lots ending every 5 minutes. Lots will remain open as long as there is bidding activity.

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 five additional minutes for each extension. Extended bidding 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 sure their bids are acknowledged should use the maximum bid feature. The current bid price does not automatically go to your max bid when you bid your max. Instead, someone else's bid will increase the current price, and the computer will automatically bid to your max in the increments specified.

REFRESH YOUR SCREEN:

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