auction number 1 has 75 lots and will be numbered 1-75. Auction number 2 has 75 lots
and will be numbered 76-150. Any lot with a letter after a number are non bid lots, they
are info lots. If you bid on an info lot and win you will be sent swag items.

auction is set to close at 7pm, the first lot of the auction will close at 7pm. The next lot
will close 10-15 seconds later. With lots closing every 10-15 seconds until all of the lots
have closed.
