CLOSING FEATURES
Staggered Closing  Lots do not all close at once! Beginning with Lot 1, lots will close in increments of 5per minute, depending on the size of the auction, in numerical order, until all lots have been closed. The Closing Time for Lot 1 will be posted at the top of each auction's page.

Extended Dynamic Closing  If a bid is placed on a Lot within 5 minutes of its’ scheduled closing time, the timer for that lot is automatically extended by 5 minutes to allow all interested bidders the opportunity to continue placing bids for that item. This extended bidding time does not increase the bidding time for any other lots in the auction.

Your Maximum Bid  This Bidding Feature places automatic bids on your behalf, up to the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the item. Your bid is only increased when another Bidder places a bid higher than your current bid. If a Bidder places a bid higher than your Max Bid, you will lose your position as the Winning Bidder, the system stops placing bids on your behalf, and you are required to enter a new bid if you wish to continue competing for the item.  Note: This Bidding Feature is an efficient tool for Bidders who need to manage multiple bids.

Outbid Notifications END once Lots begin Closing  If you are outbid on an item, you will receive an immediate Outbid Notification email. These notifications keep you updated on the status of the Bids you have placed.  However, once the 1st Lot closes, the system will no longer send these notices. You will be responsible to manually monitor the status of your bids at this time. You may review the status of your bids by clicking ‘Review Bids.’

Bidding Errors  Please review all bids carefully before submitting them. In the event a gross bidding error is made, please contact bill@bclauction.com immediately. We will review the circumstances to see if the bid may be reversed without affecting other participant’s bids on that item.
