SOFT STAGGERED/DYNAMIC CLOSING: The auction will close with a soft staggered close with extended bidding enabled.

Lots that receive a bid in the last 2 minutes of that lot's clock will be automatically extended an additional 2 minutes. Please note: The software also allows for proxy or maximum bids to be placed by Bidders. These proxy or max bids are timestamped, and these bids are placed by the software based on timestamped information. Someone else has to bid to increase the current price and the computer will automatically bid the next increment, up to and no more than your max. Occasionally, two people will bid the same max bid on an item; the first person to place the bid will be high bidder due to timestamping of bids. These proxy bids could result in an automatic bid acceleration to a maximum bid being placed, or had already been placed in the system by user or another Bidder, and is NOT a function of the Auctioneer. Bid prices on lots are subject to change without notice. Failure of an under-Bidder to understand the method, instructions or process is not grounds to reverse a winning bidder's award of a lot.
