Auction Terms & Conditions Online Auction Start/Close: Sunday October 28th @ Noon CST to Saturday, November 3rd @ 5:00 p CST. Soft Close: The auction program has a soft close feature designed to stagger the close of each lot by 10 seconds. However, if a bid is received within 3 minutes from the closing time, that particular lot is extended an additional 3 minutes. This action will repeat itself until bidding has ceased for at least 3 minutes. This provides bidders with a true auction method and not last second sniping as seen on other sites like ebay.
