This auction features maximum bidding. No one but you can see what your maximum bid is. When you place your maximum bid, the current bid price does not automatically go to that bid. Someone else has to bid to increase the current price and the software will automatically bid up to your maximum bid in the increments specified. If someone has already entered a maximum bid on the item you are bidding on, the system will automatically bid for you until you are the current high bidder or until you reach your maximum bid. If you have reached your maximum bid and are still not the current high bidder, the system will give you the opportunity to enter another maximum bid. You may request out bid notices when registering for your online bidding account. You can choose to have them sent to your email. If you are not able to be around a computer/mobile device during the closing of the auction or receive and/or read your outbid notices, we recommend you enter your maximum bid when bidding. Your maximum bid would be considered the maximum amount you are willing to pay for your item. Please remember, you can always raise your max bid, but you cannot lower it.
