HOW TO BID Our Timed Bid Auctions are usually published on line for 7 to 21 days. Each lot closes sequentially in lot order 60 SECONDS after the previous lot. If a bid is placed within the last five minutes prior to closing then the bidding time will be extended for that lot by 5 minutes, bidding extensions will go for a maximum of two hours. You can place individual bids at anytime up until the close of a lot. You can also place a maximum bid in the system for any lot. The system will only bid on your behalf if another bid is placed on that lot, e.g. say lot 2 has a bid of $20 already, you leave a maximum bid of $100, this system will execute your bid and you will be the high bidder at $25, if another bid is place for $50 then your next bid would be executed at $55 and so on. If another bid of $100 is place it will take you bid as it was placed first, if your bid is exceeded you will get a notification that you have been outbid.
