The following is a sample of how our on line absentee bidding system works. After you sign in you
can view any of the lots in the auction. Suppose you decide you want to bid on
Lot 6. When viewing lot 6 you will see at the bottom of the page the
following. If no bids have been entered
on lot 6, the minimum bid that will be accepted is $150.00. If you enter
$150.00 and submit that bid, a notice will tell you that you are the current
high bidder at $150.00. If you submit a bid higher than $150.00, say $200.00,
that bid will also be accepted but you will still be the high bidder at
$150.00, the $200.00 bid becomes your ‘left bid’ to be bid competitively by our
computer bidding system. If a prior bid of $150.00 has been entered on lot 6,
you can bid the next Minimum Acceptable Bid which would be $10.00, if no
$10.00 or higher left bid had been previously entered you will be notified
that you are the current high bidder at $10.00. If the person’s higher left bid
is $10.00 you will receive a red message telling that
you have tied the high and that the bid is now $10.00. This is not your bid as
you have only tied the previous left bid of $10.00. However, if a higher left
bid exists you will be notified that you have been outbid and that the current
high bid is now $170.00. Let’s say that another bidders
left bid on lot 6 is $190.00. If you elect to now bid $180.00 you will be again
notified that you have been outbid by a left bid of $190.00 and that the new
Minimum Acceptable Bid has been raised to $200.00. If you now decide to
bid $220.00 you will be notified that you are now the current high bidder at
$200.00, one bid above the left bid of $190.00. Your $220.00 bid now becomes
your left bid. If that auction was to close without any additional bidding you
would win lot 6 for $200.00, not the $220.00 that you were prepared to bid
to.
AT NO TIME WILL WE DIVULGE THE AMOUNT OF THE BIDS WE HAVE
RECEIVED THAT ARE HIGHER THAN THE CURRENT POSTED HIGH BID.
The following are the minimum raises that we
will be accepting. Mail, FAX and email ‘Between Bids’ ($86.00; $104.00); will
be recorded at the closest lower minimum bid level ($80.00; $100.00.) Between
bids submitted through mail, phone, FAX, email or our
Internet bidding site will automatically be lower to the closest lower level.

4. Closing the Auction: THIS
IS A TIMED CLOSING AUCTION! No
lot will close while there is still bidding activity on it. If any lot in the
auction receives a bid in the last 10 minutes before the 10pm closing time, an
additional 10 minutes will be added on to the bidding time for that lot at the
time the bid is entered. If this same lot receives another bid 5 minutes later,
an additional 10 minutes will automatically be added to the bidding time. If no
bid is received on the lot for 10 minutes, at the end of that time the lot will
automatically close and the highest bidder will be the
winner. No phone bids will be accepted during the timed closing part of the
auction.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST DAY TO PLACE YOUR BIDS.
