If a bid is received in the last minute of an auction, an extra minute will be added to that lot and that lot only to allow additional time for people to bid. The remaining lots behind that lot will continue to close as scheduled unless someone bids in the last minute on that specific lot as well. This process will continue until all bidding has ceased and no one bids within the additional minute that was added. Review all bids before they are submitted.
