FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

THE ONLINE BIDDING PROCESS:

THE SYSTEM OFFERS MANY FEATURES TO FACILITATE THE ONLINE BIDDING PROCESS:

• The lot number with its image and description.
• Auction items have a “Place Bid” button. Once clicked on, a box appears for entering bids and underneath a dropdown menu with predefined bids to be selected. A bid button to confirm your bid.
• Lot items are open to bids for a predetermined amount of time (countdown).
• When time is up, the item is declared “sold” to the highest bidder.
• If you are the highest bidder. You will see the message “winning | bidding (the amount you are winning with)” and in parenthesis the max bid you are willing to put for the current lot. The system bids on your behalf until you are outbid. The system will automatically increase your bid by the bid increment, only if you have been outbid, until it reaches your MAXIMUM BID.
• If your bid is not the highest bid entered so far, the system registers your bid but continues to bid on behalf of the high bidder, automatically outbidding you by one bid increment. If your bid is not winning, you will see the message “outbid” and the current price for the lot will appear.
• If two buyers bid the same max bid for the same lot, the first bidder will be the one winning the lot until someone outbids him.
• The system continues to automatically bid on behalf of whoever is the highest bidder at the moment, up to and including their maximum, until the lot auction countdown runs out.
• If the highest bid is outbid on the last minute before a lot is sold, a countdown timer of 1 minute is added to it. During this one minute, if a new bid is placed, the timer is reset to 1 minute for any buyer to bid more. Once the timer reaches 0, the lot is sold.
