GROUPED EXTENDED BIDDING / SOFT CLOSE

This auction utilizes a Grouped Extended Bidding (“Soft Close”) format. Certain items may be placed into bidding groups, meaning those items are linked together and will remain open and close together based on bidding activity. If a bid is placed on any item within a bidding group during the final extension period, the closing time for all items within that group will automatically extend by an additional period of time. Each additional bid placed on any item within the group during an extension period will continue to extend the closing time for the entire group until no further bids are received. The posted closing time is the earliest possible closing time and not a guaranteed closing time. This bidding method is designed to give all bidders a fair and equal opportunity to participate while preventing last-second bidding practices commonly referred to as “sniping.”

- Extended Bidding Time Increments
During the first 30 minutes of extended bidding, all bid extensions will be 5 minutes.
During the second 30 minutes of extended bidding, all bid extensions will be 3 minutes.
During the third 30 minutes of extended bidding, all bid extensions will be 2 minutes.
After the first 90 minutes of extended bidding, all bid extensions will be reduced to 1 minute and will continue in 1-minute increments until all items are sold.
- Example of Grouped Bidding:

Items 101, 102, and 103 are grouped together and scheduled to close at 6:00 PM. If a bid is placed on Item 102 at 5:59 PM, all three items will automatically extend beyond 7:00 PM. If another bid is later placed on Item 101 during the extension period, all three items will extend again.

- Example of Extended Bidding:

An item scheduled to close at 6:00 PM receives a bid at 5:59 PM during the first extension period. The item will automatically extend by 5 minutes. If additional bidding continues into later extension periods, the extension times will reduce according to the posted bidding increment schedule until the auction reaches 1-minute extensions and finally closes when no additional bids are received.
