Online "Auction" and Bidding
Mobile Bidding
Our event will feature an online auction which will allow you to browse auction items easily and place bids right away from the date the auction opens on Monday, March 2nd. The online portion of the auction will close on Friday, March 6th at 10:00 am where the highest bidders will be transferred to bid sheets placed out the evening of March 7th. This is called "proxy bidding":
A proxy bid is when you place a bid for the maximum amount you are willing to spend, then let the system bid for you up to that amount. For example, if an item is currently selling for $10 and you enter a proxy bid of $20, the system will automatically bid for you until the selling price goes over $20. At that point, you will be outbid and someone else will be the leading bidder.
A proxy bid is a single bid and only shows up in the bid history one time. The bid history always shows the highest amount the system has bid for the proxy bid. This may look weird in the bid history when multiple bids have been entered against a proxy bid.
Explanations are available for the bid types by clicking the help icon next to each on any auction item page.
