Step 3. Bid On The Auction

Now you are ready to place a bid. There are two ways to do this.

  A. You can bid to the next increment. Bidding is set up with predetermined bid increments. (As the price increases so do the bid increments) .

  B. You can place a Max Bid. You are able to put in your max bid and the auction software will bid on your behalf. You will only be charged the final bid amount not your Max Bid.

TIP: In the Lots title you will see an Equipment Condition Key: [TW] Tested & Working! - [WWR] Working When Removed! - [O] Other see Description - No Key means Untested ... This will help you understand our knowledge of the equipments condition.

Note: The auction uses a staggered closing which means lots close 30 seconds after each other (eg. Lot 1 closes at 6pm, Lot 2 closes at 6:00;30pm, Lot 3 closes at 6:01pm etc).

If there is active bidding in the 2 minutes before the Lot closes the time will be extended 2 minutes, this protects you against bid sniping.
