Automatic Bidding (auto bid) option makes bidding convenient allowing you to enter the maximum bid amount* that you are willing to bid on an item. Based on your Account Preferences for notification, you may be notified whenever your auto bid increases &/or when it is exceeded.

The auction company or other bidders do not have access to see your auto bid amount. You are the only person that can see your auto bid amount (displayed in your Watch List).

Your auto bid will not “jump” to the maximum amount. The auto bid will increment up only with competing bids until either the item completes with you as the high bidder, or until your auto bid has been exceeded by another bid.

If another bidder already has an auto bid in place when you place your auto bid, the (2) competing auto bids will continue to increment until either the lower auto bid is maxed out; or if both auto bid amounts are the same the auto bid that was placed first will become winning position of the bid.

Example #1:

1. Minimum bid is at $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment.

2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid for $77.00.

3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00.

4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $23.00.

5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:

 Bidder #1 - $10

 Bidder #2 - $15

 Bidder #1 - $20

 Bidder #2 - $23 (maximum auto bid placed)

 Bidder #1 - $25 (high bid position)

The high bid is $25 not $28 because Bidder #2’s auto bid was exceeded at an increment other than $5.

Example #2:

1. Minimum bid is $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment.

2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid of $77.00.

3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00

4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00

5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:

 Bidder #1 - $10

 Bidder #2 - $15

 Bidder #1 - $20

 Bidder #2 - $25 (maximum auto bid placed)

 Bidder #1 - $30 (high bid position)

The high bid is $30 because Bidder #2’s auto bid was exceeded at an increment equal to $5.

Example #3:

1. Minimum bid is $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment.

2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid of $25.00.

3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00

4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00 (same amount as Bidder #1 auto bid)

5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:

 Bidder #1 - $10

 Bidder #2 - $15

 Bidder #1 - $20

 Bidder #2 - $25

 Bidder #1 - $25 (high bid position)

The high bid is $25 with Bidder #1 in high bid position because Bidder #1 placed the $25.00 auto bid before Bidder #2.

*Buyer’s premium and sales tax will be in addition to the winning bid amount.

A buyer’s premium will be added to all purchases and is as follows on all regularly scheduled weekly online auctions:

15% BUYERS PREMIUM will be added to the price of all purchases.

All high bids are considered legal binding contracts and all sales are final. All items are sold "as is where is", with NO guarantee, warranty, or possible refund written, expressed, or implied. The working/running condition of an item may not be known and may not always be listed in the items description. Sometimes we do know and list the condition of the items, but many times do not. Please note that all sales are final regardless of the purchase items condition, unless the discretion of a Simple Bid, Inc Manager deems differently.

All items sell AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS and with no warranty of any type expressed or implied as to the merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any goods offered in this sale. All sales are made on an AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS basis. All buyers are urged to physically inspect the item prior to bidding during the inspection period. No bids can be withdrawn once submitted before, during or after the auction for any reason. BUYER agrees that these terms as well as all other terms set forth below, can be amended or revised only in writing, signed by the auctioneer. BUYER also agrees that any oral representation made by the auction company or its agents shall not modify these "AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS" terms. BUYER understands that any description given, written on the equipment, or advertised by any other means is not guaranteed, and BUYER will rely entirely on their own inspection. All information and descriptions contained in advertising this sale are believed correct, but no responsibility is assumed by Auction Co., or Seller for any errors or omissions.

Posted closing times and displays of Auction Co.'s current time are approximate. Auction Co. reserves the right to close early or extend auctions at any time at its discretion. It is strongly recommended that bids be placed early to avoid losing out due to an ill-timed, last minute bid. All times based on Eastern Standard Time. Dynamic bidding - The dynamic bid on this website is a feature that does NOT allow an item to sell at the end of the auction until there is 10 minutes of bidding inactivity. Example - An item is bid on at 7:50pm. An auction is scheduled to close at 8:00pm. When this bid is placed the ending time will automatically extend to 8:10pm. When another bid is placed at 8:01 the auction will extend until 8:20pm. This will give bidder 19 minutes to place another bid. If no bids are placed this auction will conclude at 8:20pm. The key to your dynamic bidding feature is that the auction extends from the preset closing time in 10 minute intervals, NOT 10 minutes from when you placed your bid.

A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than the current required bid amount, which means your bid amount is not required to be an increment of the posted bid increment.

Example:

Current bid at $10.00 with a bid increment of $5.00.

Minimum bid required would be $15.00.

A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than $15.00.

The bid amount is not required to be in increments of $5.00; therefore a bid could be placed for $17.00 or $76.00 or whatever amount you wish to bid as long as it is equal to or greater than the minimum bid required.

The winning bid may end up at any amount. It may not be divisible by the stated increment. The winning bid will be the highest

You can place bids on an item before the auction starts, this is especially helpful if you will not be available on the day of the auction.

When an item status shows as “Pre-Bidding” this simply means that bids placed are not displayed on the auction site until the date the auction is scheduled to open.

Although there may actually be pre-bids placed on the item, an item in pre-bidding status will show # of bids placed as 0 and the current bid (required bid) will show as the opening bid.

You may place a pre-bid through the same process as normal bidding. You can monitor & view your bidding activity on items in pre-bid status from your Watch List.

When you place a pre-bid, if you are notified that your bid is not higher than another user’s pre-bid this means that another bidder(s) has already placed a pre-bid equal to or higher the amount of the pre-bid you are attempting to place. You will need to raise your pre-bid if you want to be in the winning position.

All pre-bids will be tallied and shown when the auction actually begins.

If for any reason the buyer fails to remove any purchases within the time specified, the Auction Co. shall have the right but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to resell, discard or remove and store said purchase at the buyers sole risk and expense (storage costs will be charged - per day - per item - other costs additional), without waiving any rights that Auction Co. or seller may have against buyer. Storage charges will be the responsibility of the buyer (after removal period.) If the purchases have not been removed within the 7 day time period, these items will be considered abandoned and the Auction Co. reserves the right to relist/resell any and all those items considered to be abandoned or forfeited when invoice is paid in full but not removed completely from auction location within 7 days of auction.

Liquidated Damages Fee:

BIDDER explicitly authorizes the charging of his or her credit card for the liquidated damages fee which are applied when bidder/buyer’s invoice(s) are not paid in full within 8 days of auction date.

Liquidated damages fee will equal up to 20% (or minimum of $25.00) of total purchase price during the auction or immediately following the auction. Note that the purchase price is the sum of the bid price, buyer’s premium, buyer's fee, and sales tax if applicable.

Liquidated damages fee is assessed based on damages to be recovered by Auction Co.; although actual damages are difficult to ascertain because of risk and costs associated with re-listing an item, storing it for an undetermined amount of time and, in certain circumstances, needing to physically relocate an item.

Storage fees:

At the discretion of the auction company, item(s) that are paid in full may be held/stored for an additional 5 days for prearranged customer pickup.
