Dynamic bidding - The dynamic bidding on this website is a feature that extends the closing time of an item if it receives a bid in the final 10 minutes of the original scheduled closing time. This is an automated feature that keeps bidding open until there is 10 minutes of bidding inactivity. Then the bidding on the item will close.
Example – If an item is bid on at 7:56 pm, and the scheduled end time is 8:00 pm, then the ending time for that item will automatically extend 10 minutes from the current time of the last bid, changing the scheduled end time to 8:06 pm. If another bid is placed before 8:06 pm then the auction will extend another 10 minutes based on the most recent current bid time. This will give bidders an additional 10 minutes to place another bid. For this example, if no bids are placed this lot will conclude at 8:16 pm. The key to your dynamic bidding feature is that the auction extends from the time the bid is placed, changing the closing time in 10-minute intervals from the time the most recent bid is placed.
Posted closing times and displays of Auction Co.'s current time are approximate. Auction Co. reserves the right to close early or extend auctions at any time at its discretion. It is strongly recommended that bids be placed early to avoid losing out due to an ill-timed, last-minute bid. All times based on posted time zone (location of item).
You can place bids on an item before the auction starts, this is especially helpful if you will not be available on the day of the auction.
When an item status shows as “Pre-Bidding” this simply means that bids placed are not displayed on the auction site until the date the auction is scheduled to open.
Although there may actually be pre-bids placed on the item, an item in pre-bidding status will show # of bids placed as 0 and the current bid (required bid) will show as the opening bid.
You may place a pre-bid through the same process as normal bidding. You can monitor & view your bidding activity on items in pre-bid status from your Watch List.
When you place a pre-bid, if you are notified that your bid is not higher than another user’s pre-bid this means that another bidder(s) has already placed a pre-bid equal to or higher the amount of the pre-bid you are attempting to place. You will need to raise your pre-bid if you want to be in the winning position.
All pre-bids will be tallied and shown when the auction actually begins.
Please note: The website features automated sliding scale bid increment amounts, which are subject to change based on the current bid price of an item. Bid Increments may change based on the current high bid dollar amount. This is an automated process intended to streamline and simplify the bidding process. Below are the bid increment scales which are activated when an item reaches a specific dollar amount:
If an items current high bid is between $5.00 and $250.00, then the bid increment will be $5.00.
If an items current high bid is between $250.00 and $500.00, then the bid increment will be $10.00
If an items current high bid is between $500.00 and $1,000.00, then the bid increment will be $25.00
If an items current high bid is between $1,000.00 and $10,000.00, then the bid increment will be $50.00
If an items current high bid is between $10,000.00 and $25,000.00, then the bid increment will be $100.00
If an items current high bid is between $25,000.00 and $100,000.00, then the bid increment will be $250.00
If an items current high bid is between $100,000.00 and $250,000.00, then the bid increment will be $500.00
If an items current high bid is between $250,000.00 and above, then the bid increment will be $1,000.00
A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than the current required minimum bid amount, which means you can place a bid that is different than the required minimum bid amount so long as it is greater than the minimum bid amount. Any bid placed that is greater than the required minimum bid increment will function as an auto bid.
Example:
Refer to Automatic Bidding section for further explanation of the convenient method of placing an automatic bid.
AUTOMATIC BIDDING (MAX BID, AUTO BID, PROXYBID)
Automatic Bidding (auto bid) option makes bidding convenient allowing you to enter the maximum bid amount* that you are willing to bid on an item. Based on your Account Preferences for notification, you may be notified whenever your auto bid increases &/or when it is exceeded.
The auction company or other bidders do not have access to see your auto bid (proxybid/max bid amount. You are the only person that can see your auto bid amount (displayed in your Watch List).
Your auto bid will not “jump” to the maximum amount. The auto bid will increment up only with competing bids until either the lot completes with you as the high bidder, or until your auto bid has been exceeded by another bid.
If another bidder already has an auto bid in place when you place your auto bid, the (2) competing auto bids will continue to increment until either the lower auto bid is maxed out; or if both auto bid amounts are the same the auto bid that was placed first will become winning position of the bid.
Example #1:
1. Minimum bid is at $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment. 2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid for $77.00. 3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00. 4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $23.00. 5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:
Bidder #1 - $10 Bidder #2 - $15 Bidder #1 - $20 Bidder #2 - $23 (maximum auto bid placed) Bidder #1 - $25 (high bid position)
The high bid is $25 not $28 because Bidder #2’s auto bid was exceeded at an increment other than $5.
Example #2:
1. Minimum bid is $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment. 2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid of $77.00. 3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00 4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00 5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:
Bidder #1 - $10 Bidder #2 - $15 Bidder #1 - $20 Bidder #2 - $25 (maximum auto bid placed) Bidder #1 - $30 (high bid position)
The high bid is $30 because Bidder #2’s auto bid was exceeded at an increment equal to $5.
Example #3:
1. Minimum bid is $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment. 2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid of $25.00. 3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00 4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00 (same amount as Bidder #1 auto bid) 5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:
Bidder #1 - $10 Bidder #2 - $15 Bidder #1 - $20 Bidder #2 - $25 Bidder #1 - $25 (high bid position)
The high bid is $25 with Bidder #1 in high bid position because Bidder #1 placed the $25.00 auto bid before Bidder #2.
*Buyer’s premium and sales tax will be in addition to the winning bid amount.
A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than the current required bid amount, which means your bid amount is not required to be an increment of the posted bid increment.
