PLEASE NOTE! This online auction has staggered ending times. When you click on “ALL ITEMS” (above) the first online auction item will close at 11:00 AM. Each online auction item will close one minute after the previous. For Example: The first online auction item closes at 11:00 AM. The second online auction item closes at 11:01 AM. The third online auction item closes at 11:02 AM. This will continue until all online auction items have closed. Also note that extended bidding is still in place. Therefore, if the first online auction item goes into extended bidding the second online auction item will still close at 11:01 AM and the third online auction item will still close at 11:02 AM, etc. (unless they also go into extended bidding) while the first online auction item is still in extended bidding. This scenario applies to all online auction lots. If you have any questions regarding extended bidding, please contact us.
