Online Auction Ending Times:
Ford Brothers, Inc. Online Auctions are timed events and all bidding will close at specified time. Ford Brothers, Inc. Real Estate Online Auctions also have an auto extend feature.

Example: if an auction scheduled to close at 6:00 receives a bid at 5:59, the close time will automatically be reset back to 5 minutes. The auto extend feature remains active until no further bids are received within a 5 minute time frame.
Staggered Closing: This online auction closes in intervals. Depending on how large (# of lots) an auction is, then we set the auction to close so many lots at a time. It is typically 20-50 lots every 5 minutes. If it is a large auction, then it will be 75-100 lots at a time. Please monitor the countdown timer to see when the lot will close. Please check the auction announcements for detailed information regarding these intervals. This feature works great with the auto-extend feature to closely emulate a live auction.
