Bidding Information
This is an internet-only auction — all bidding takes place online. The property is being sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. The Seller reserves the right to accept or reject the high bid.
The auction will utilize a soft close feature beginning 5 minutes before the scheduled end time. If a bid is placed within the final five minutes, the countdown will reset to 5 minutes, allowing additional time for new bids. This process continues until no new bids are placed for a full 5-minute period. The purpose of the soft close is to ensure fair opportunity for all bidders.
Bidders are encouraged to refresh their screens frequently to ensure accurate timing and bid status updates.
Max Bidding
Bidders may enter a maximum bid at any time. The system will automatically bid on your behalf up to your maximum amount:
- If an existing max bid is lower, your bid will jump to that amount and increase by one bid increment.
- If another bidder has already entered the same max bid, priority is given to the bid placed first (by timestamp).
You are the leading bidder if your item screen is outlined in GREEN or shows your bidder number followed by “(you).” If your max bid has been reached and another bidder remains in the lead, your screen will display RED.
⚠️ Note: Property Peddler Inc. is not responsible for any bidder’s misunderstanding or misuse of the max bidding feature.
Bidders should maintain a reliable internet connection. Lag or poor connectivity may result in inaccurate bid status. If you are unsure about your internet reliability, arrangements can be made to bid from one of our offices—please contact the auctioneer in advance.
