Bidding Process: This auction is exclusively conducted online with a soft close for all lots. Bidders have the option to set a 'Max Bid,' which enables the system to place incremental bids on their behalf until the maximum bid is reached. If a lot sells for less than the set Max Bid, the bidder will only be charged the final high bid price, not the max bid price. Only the auctioneer has access to the 'Max Bid' amounts. When another bidder places a bid, the system will automatically increase your bid to the next increment. Your 'Max Bid' will only be used to outbid others if someone else is actively bidding on the item.
