BIDDING

Bids may be placed, manually, one bid at a time or bidders may utilize the Max Bid feature by entering the maximum bid they wish to pay for an item and allowing the software to bid incrementally for them.  Occasionally, two different bidders place max bids for the same amount.

Beginning at the stated closing time, the auction software will conclude bidding for the auction property with the following exception: if a bid is placed in the last sixty (60) seconds of any lot, bidding will be reset to three (3) minutes for all lots.
