BIDDING:
1. This is an online only auction with bidding through HiBid. Bidding will generally end in numerical order with 4 items ending every minute. Changes may occur for specialty auctions. If there is bidding activity in the last 2 minutes a lot is open, the end time for that lot will be extended 2 minutes until there is no further bidding in that time. Due to the extended bid times, some lots may stay open while the regular closing schedule of other lots continues--there may be several lots ending simultaneously. You may bid any time up until the ending time for each item.
2. HiBid uses a Maximum Bidding feature which means when you place your MAX BID, the current bid price does not automatically go to your max bid. Someone else has to bid to increase the current price shown.
3. Bids are placed in the order they are received. If two bidders enter the same dollar amount for a bid, the bidder who placed their bid FIRST will be the bidder that is in at that price.
