HOW DO I BID?


DO YOU HAVE RESERVES ON YOUR ITEMS?

Some items may have reserves! All our auctions start at with an opening bid when listed and sell for the highest bid amount on auction night. 


CAN I COME PREVIEW AN ITEM BEFORE BIDDING?

We encourage all our bidders if they have time to spare, to come to our retail location within our business hours and preview anything you are interested in bidding on.


HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM WINNING AN ITEM?

  • When you bid on an item, the thumbnail will either update to a faint red or green.
  • RED: Indicates you are losing the bid amount and must bid higher.
  • GREEN: Indicates you have taken the lead in the bidding and are currently winning.
  • These colors will update in real time on a 5 second auto refresh.
  • You can view all the items you are bidding on in the auction and its current status in your BID LOUNGE located on the left side of the page

WHERE CAN I SEE THE BID HISTORY OF AN ITEM?

The bid history will be located in the auction item page right below the current bid amount and who is the highest bidder.


WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?

  • When there is 20 minutes remaining on an item, the auction timer will turn a BOLD RED
  • In order to prevent auction sniping and unfair bidding practices, the countdown time will reset to 2 minutes every time a bid is placed within the last 2 minutes of the auction ending. (This is to give bidders another chance to bid if they are still debating). PLEASE NOTE THAT IF A BID IS PLACED ON AN ITEM WITH LESS THAN 5 SECONDS REMAINING - THE ITEM MAY STILL COUNT DOWN AND SHOW "CLOSED" EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BUMPED BACK UP TO 2 MINUTES REMAINING.  PLEASE KEEP IN MIND TO REFRESH YOUR PAGE WHEN AN ITEM YOU'RE BIDDING ON SAYS CLOSED TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO BIDS PLACED WITH <5 SECONDS REMAINING!
  • In the event of a Tie bid (2 bidders enter the same amount, it is always awarded to the first person who placed the bid.) If you enter a bid of $10 and the current high bid changes to $10 but your thumbnail is red, that means someone else entered a $10 bid before you and will be recognized as the high bidder.
