Accelerated Lot Closing
Individual lot timers. Lots with no new bids close early
To keep the auction moving, we use Accelerated Lot Closing (ALC) alongside our Dynamic Auction Closing.
- Lots that have not received a new bid within 1 hour prior to the posted closing time will close at the posted closing time.
- Beginning at the posted closing time, the remaining lots are checked at scheduled intervals.
- If a lot has not received a new bid within the required time period, it will close at the next ALC checkpoint, even while other lots remain open.
- Lots with active bidding remain open, while inactive lots close.
- Because lots can close independently of one another, be sure to watch the countdown timer on any lot you're interested in and place your bids before it expires.
A lot that has never received a bid stays open until the main auction closes.
A lot's timer never runs past the auction's own closing time. If it would end later, the auction's closing time is used instead.
Dynamic Auction Closing
The auction timer extends the whole auction when a bid comes in near the closing time
This gives everyone a fair chance to bid right at the end. When a bid comes in close to the closing time, the countdown timer is extended so other bidders still have a chance to respond. It works in stages, and the extended bid time gets shorter the longer the auction runs:
When a bid is placed with under 5 minutes left on the timer, it is extended by 5 minutes.
When a bid is placed with under 2 minutes left on the timer, it is extended by 2 minutes.
When a bid is placed with under 1 minute left on the timer, it is extended by 1 minute, until the bidding stops.
