This profile contains your personal information – you may view and edit your profile by logging into the website used. It is your responsibility to ensure that all the information on that profile is VALID and CURRENT. We rely on that information to contact you and process payment. Address, Phone, Billing, Credit Card (if requested) and Email information are particularly important! If you need help logging in or resetting information in your profile, contact our office or read and explore the FAQs on the website being used. EMAIL RESPONSIBILITY: In order to register to bid in any online auction, you must have a valid email address. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your server accepts emails from our server. We use email as our primary method of communication and you will not receive any other method of bidding, registering, or invoice confirmation from our office, so make sure your emails are working. ALWAYS contact our office if you are not receiving proper emails from our company – we can help troubleshoot, but your server may not receive emails as consistently as others. BUYERS PREMIUM: A buyer’s premium will be added to each purchase. Buyer’s premium is 5% unless stated otherwise: if you bid $100.00, at checkout you will be charged $105.00. AUCTION CLOSING: The closing time of the auction will be listed within the auction information page of our website. Once bidding closes, items you have won become your responsibility – make note of closing times! Our auctions feature EXTENDED BIDDING. If a bid is placed on a lot within the last FIVE minutes of the auction, bidding will extend on that lot for FIVE minutes past the closing time. That lot will remain open until there are no bids on that item during the extended time period(s). This only affects lots that receive a bid during the last FIVE minutes of the auction. Any lot not bid on in the last five minutes will close as scheduled. Example: If you are participating in an auction that closes at 6:00 PM and you place a bid at 5:55, that lot will extend until 6:05 p.m. and will keep extending in Five-minute increments each time a new bid is placed. It will stop extending when no bid has been placed during the extended time period(s). Our auctions offer MAXIMUM BIDDING. This means that you can place a higher bid than the next “Asking Bid''. You may place a max bid at any time in the place bid space by simply entering the highest number you want to bid. When you place a MAX BID, the current bid price will only go to the next increment, or one increment over someone else’s max bid if one has been placed. The computer will bid for you in the predetermined auction increments up to your highest dollar entered only if someone else bids against you to raise your bid to that dollar amount. When someone has already entered a MAX BID on an item you are bidding on, the system will automatically bid for you until you are the current high Bidder or you reach your MAX BID. If you have reached your MAX BID and are still not the current high Bidder, the system will give you the opportunity to enter another MAX BID. Bids will be placed in the order that they are received. If TWO buyers enter a BID of the same dollar amount, the buyer who entered his/her BID FIRST will be recognized as the high bidder at that price. If you bid a certain amount and see that the bid is indeed that amount, but you are not the 'High Bidder', that means that someone else placed a max bid of that amount, and therefore their bid was placed into the system ahead of yours.  You may request out bid notices when registering for your online bidding account. You can choose to have them sent to your email, cell phone via text message or both. If you are not able to be around a computer/ mobile device during the closing of the auction or receive and/or read your outbid notices, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you utilize the max bidding feature. Please remember, you can always raise your max bid, but you CANNOT lower it.     *Buyers will receive outbid notices via email for the entire duration of the auction. Outbid notices via text message will only be sent out for the final 48 hours of the auction.      *HSC AUCTIONS is NOT responsible for emails or texts that are not received by the bidder. These messages are automated through our website, and we don’t have control of how they are received by each specific server and/or cell service carrier. We do not recommend relying on outbid notices to ensure you are the high bidder.       * Become a RESPONSIBLE Bidder, YOU know if you are bidding on an item, when the auction ends AND when pick up is. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check back to the website to know if you won the item or not.  HSC Auctions is not responsible for internet malfunctions, loss of connection or system glitches that may prevent you from placing last-minute bids, or receiving notices from our company. Don’t wait until the last minute to bid; if the system is busy, your bids may not be processed within the last seconds of an auction closing, and you may miss an item you want. There is no advantage to waiting until there are only a few seconds left to bid. Any bid placed 4:59 or :01 second left is still going to extend the bidding by 5 minutes.
