3. 1995 Saab 900 Forest Green Convertible
4. 2011 Element Enclosed Trailer
EXTENDED BIDDING: Any bid placed in the last 5 minutes of the scheduled ending time of the auction extends the bidding on that lot alone an additional 5 minutes and the bidder who is then out of winning position will receive an email and/or a text message (whichever signed up for when registered) to bid again. That lot will remain open for bidding until there are no bids on that lot for 5 minutes. This will only affect lots with last minute bids. All other lots will continue to close at the advertised time. This will eliminate a bidder “sniping” in the last seconds and winning the bid.
EASY BIDDING STRATEGY: There are so many items that we strongly recommend that you place your max bid and let the software increase your bid for you if someone else bids. It just isn’t possible to watch it all. If you only want to see what you are bidding on and not all of the thousands of items, just click on the “My Bids” tab and you will only be watching those.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE AUCTION?: There is a 10% buyer’s premium on the winning bid and sales tax (6.25%)for any bidders who do not have a Sales Tax Exemption Certificate for resale + 5% for the credit card fee. Only bidders who pickup can pay cash or by check at the pick up location on the pick up date. You will receive a paid invoice to print and bring with you along with identification. NOTE: If someone is picking up for you, send a printed invoice with them to pick up. Obviously, we cannot give your items to someone who cannot prove that they are legitimately there to pick up for you.
