Bidding on E-Auction Lots

E-Auction bidding is fun and easy — Opening bid on all E-Auction lots is $250. Proxy bidding is an automatic method of bidding that increases your bid to the next higher price when another user outbids you on the same item. Your bid is increased until your specified maximum bid amount is reached, or UNTIL the auction ends.

  • If an item is currently bid less than $1000, your bid will be automatically raised in $50 increments up to your maximum bid.
  • If an item is currently bid at $1000 or more, your bid will be automatically raised in $100 increments up to your maximum bid.
