12) EXPLANATION OF STAGGERED CLOSING & SOFT CLOSE Staggered Close: If you'll notice in the Title of our Auction, it states that bidding BEGINS to close at a specific time, however all items may not close simultaneously at that stated time. Items will close in the order listed on the site, (unless affected by the Soft Close as outlined below). This format allows bidders a period of time to evaluate their overall progress in the sale as individual items close. Within a 30 minute window of the auction beginning to close the first lots, bidders may select the "Live Catalog" feature (which should be flashing on your screen) and view in real time format, the lots with current activity and are the next lots in line to close.
Soft Close: Additionally, if an item receives a bid within the last 3 minutes, then the close time will be extended 1 minute from the time the bid is placed. The time will continue to be extended in 1-minute increments with each newly placed bid and the item will not close until the 1 minute has elapsed with no additional bid activity. This eliminates "snipers" from an Internet Auction and encourages a fair and impartial platform for all bidders to participate. Please be certain that we have taken every precaution to set the site up in a transparent manner that allows for the fairest environment for both buyers and sellers.
