AUCTION END TIMES & AUTO EXTEND FEATURES: Our Auctions are timed events with an auto extend feature. The auto extend time typically starts out at either 3 or 5 minutes and may decrease if the auction continues to extend past the scheduled closing time. For example, if the auction is scheduled to begin closing at 2:00 PM and someone places a bid at 1:59, the system will auto extend 3 minutes to allow the previous bidders time to bid again. The auto extend feature remains active until no further bids are received within a 3 minute time frame.
EXTEND ONE/EXTEND ALL FEATURE: In some auctions where we are selling multiple properties, our system will auto extend all lots in a group until there are no more bids placed on any lots in that auction or group.
BUYERS FEE: A 10% Buyer Fee will be added to your final bid resulting in the final purchase price. Example: if the final bid on the property is $100,000.00, add the 10% buyers fee of $10,000.00 in this case, for a total purchase price of $110,000.00
