This process will be repeated until no bids are placed in an extended period. This process gives everyone adequate time to decide if they would like to bid again and eliminates someone losing the bid because a bid was placed in the final moments of the clock. If the extensions are “Extend one, Extend All”, any bids placed in the final minutes on any item will extend the clock on all items in the auction and will continue to do so until no bids are placed in the extended periods. Any advertisements or postings that refer to auction closing time are referring to an approximate time that the auction will begin closing. Auctioneer reserves the right to alter closing times, start times, extension periods, extend one-extend all and all other matters as to the process and details of the auction.
