Explanation of Auction Close Process

The auction will begin to close at the advertised time.

Our auctions have a staggered close which means that each lot is scheduled to close at a slightly different time. Each lot has its close time displayed on it. A lot will close every 10 seconds until all the lots have closed.

We also use a soft close. This means that if an lot receives a bid within 1 minute of its close, that lot will have its close time extended back to a minute, thereby giving other biders a chance to bid again. When no bids are received for one minute, that lot will close. If you have any questions, please call the office at 319-559-2454.

Explanation of Max Bids
When you bid on a lot, you may choose to place a max bid (maximum bid) representing the highest amount that you're willing to pay.
Our automatic bidding technology will then place bids on your behalf. It will always place the lowest bid necessary and never go higher than your max bid.
