CLOSING DATE(S) AND TIMES: The auction will have 'STAGGERED CLOSING' times. Bidding will close for the first lot number at the specified date and time. The rest of the lots will close one at a time in numerical order after an amount of time that is set by the auctioneer. The auction will also have 'SOFT CLOSING' of lots. (i.e. if a bid occurs within the last 2 minutes of the auction, the closing time for that lot will be extended by an additional 2 minutes until no bids occur within the last 2 minutes). For example: If a lot is scheduled to close at 5:00 pm, but someone makes a bid at 4:59 pm, the closing of that lot will be changed to 5:01 pm. The bidding will close if there are no more bids between 4:59 pm and 5:01 pm. The closing time for each lot will continue to be extended by 2 minutes until no bids occur in the last 2 minutes.
MINIMUM BID INCREMENTS: 'Minimum Bid Increments' are the minimum amount of money that anyone can increase the current winning bid. These amounts change by the dollar amount bid. Please see the Bid Increments schedule within each auction.
BIDS: The auction will use a maximum bidding system. This makes bidding more convenient and less time consuming. Your account will bid for you using the 'minimum bid increment' until it reaches your maximum bid. You don't have to bid again every time someone outbids you until the current winning bid is above your 'Max Bid'. For example: You place a bid on an auction item which has a current high bid of $10 by entering the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the item (New Max Bid = $20). Your account will place a bid of $12 on your behalf ($10 current winning bid + $2 minumum bid increment). Then, someone else bids $14. Your account will automatically bid $16 on your behalf. Your account will continue to bid for you (using the minimum bid increments) until you reach your 'New Max Bid = $20'. When the current winning bid is more than your 'Max Bid', your account will not bid again for you (i.e. If someone else bids $22). You can change your New Max Bid until the auction closes. The seller and other bidders cannot see your New Max Bid.
