How to Bid

Bidding

Only registered bidders can participate in our online auctions. To register, select the 'Register' button displayed in the upper right corner of the home page.

After you have registered you will need to verify your e-mail. Your bidder number will be-mailed to you. You will not be activated to bid until you have recieved a phone call from one of our staff memebers. This can take up to 2 business days in some cases. Calls are not made on weekends or holidays. Normal business hours are Monday-Friday, 9-5 CST. If you have not recieved your call within 2 business days, please call our office at 903-572-4975.

Select the auction of interest from the home page. Each auction has different Terms & Conditions so you must read them before you bid. When you bid, you are agreeing to the all the terms & conditions for that particular auction. To enter a bid you must have your bidders number and password available.

Questions About Posted Items

Each auction has a contact person for the seller. If you have any questions about the merchandise being sold, please contact the seller's contact person.

How to Enter Your Bids

You need to begin by selecting the auction that you are interested in viewing. When the bidding for the auction is open you will have the opportunity to enter a regular bid or maxbid for each item. Enter your bid amount, select the type of bid that you wish to make and click submit.

If you enter a maxbid the system will automatically bid on your behalf up to your maxbid amount. For example, you originally placed a Maximum Bid amount of $65.00 and now you want to increase the maximum bid to $120.00, all you need to do is submit another bid for the $120.00 bid in the "Maximum Bid" box.

Our Maximum Bidding Tool will allow you to increase your Maximum Bid. For example, you originally placed a Maximum Bid amount of $65.00 and now you want to increase the maximum bid to $120.00, all you need to do is submit another bid for the $120.00 bid as a "Max Bid". As long as your previous Maximum Bid was at least 1 increment higher then any other bidders' Maximum Bid, the current price on the item will not change.

You may not increase a regular bid, if you are already the high bidder.

What if I'm Outbid?

If you are outbid and the auction is still active, the system will automatically send you an e-mail every time you are outbid. We are not responsable for emails that are not recived, as some email providers may filter the emails you recieve.

Ending the Auction

Each event will end at a particular time. Nevertheless, we use an auto-extend feature. With this feature, the bidding will maintain open on any item that has received a bid within the last 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes has lapsed without any bidding activity the bidding on the item will be closed. Each item may continue to extend as long as there is bidding activity.
