Should the Registered Bidder be outbid, with no high bids, the Registered Bidder allows Bid-Assets to bill their credit card $10. for each incident of fixing the errant bids.

Bidding Process. Most auctions utilize a “soft close”. Starting at the close time of the auction, items will begin closing with a group of items each minute until all items are sold.

Items will continue closing in order while the extended items remain open for bidding. Bid-Assets allows you to raise your own bid. If you are the high bidder and want to increase your maximum bid, DO NOT put anything in the first bidding box. Use the Max Bid Box only on the right!
