thAuction Closing Schedule on 27 June 2015

Closing of Internet Auction

An Internet Auction closes at a Pre-determined time, making all the Online Bidding stop at that point of time. However, if you are Outbid in last few seconds on your coveted lots, than it is not possible to make a fresh Higher Bid and win that lot. Moreover, if you are bidding on more than one lots than it becomes very difficult to bid on those lots in last few minutes.

To overcome these problems, we have introduced a new system of Internet Bidding called Real-Time Bidding.

The Real-Time Bidding is quite like a Physical or Floor Auction Bidding. Lots in the above given categories will close according to the Bid-Closing Schedule as given above.

However, if there is Bid recorded within a span of 2 Minutes prior to the lot’s scheduled closing time (say 4:00 pm), the Count-down Clock for that lot will be reset to 2 Minutes more and the closing time of that particular lot will be extended accordingly (4:02 pm).

Moreover, the said lot will be further extended for another 2 minutes if there is a Bid recorded within a span of 2 Minutes prior to the lot’s new extended closing time (4:02 pm), making the extended time on that lot till 4:04 and not 4:02 pm. As a consequence, the bidding on that lot will be like the Real-Time Bidding as seen during the physical auction. Finally, Bidding on any lot will only end if there is no bid recorded for a span of 2 minutes.
