ALL OF OUR ONLINE AUCTIONS FEATURE BOTH A MAX BID OPTION AS WELL AS A SOFT CLOSE.

Â“A MAX BIDÂ” may be placed on any item and the computer will bid on your behalf, thus eliminating the need to Â“babysitÂ” your bids. This option is highly recommended so you do not miss out on the item you are bidding on for any reason.

Â“THE SOFT CLOSEÂ” feature which means any bid received in the final minutes of the auction will auto extend bidding on that particular item or lot by 5 minutes thus allowing a backup bidder the opportunity to raise their bid. In the event you do not use the MAX BID feature and you are out bid you will be notified via e-mail or text that you have been outbid and will have the opportunity to raise your bid.
