If you have been outbid, you will receive and email confirming someone has outbid you.

In this type of auction, buyers bid until the auction ends. Each item in the auction will display the amount of time left to place bids and “ending on” date and time. The item is then sold to the highest bidder at the end of the auction period. A confirmation email will be sent to the winning bidder.

Bidding starts at $0.00 and the next minimum bid required will be displayed in the brackets. i.e. ($4.00).

Some Items may have a reserved minimum start bid and will be explained in the description of the auction.

Once the auction closes, an e-mail notification is sent to the buyer automatically so arrangements for payment and pickup of the item can be determined. Payment is required within seven (7) days - excluding weekends and Statutory Holidays.

Please bid responsibly and please note, by placing a bid you are entering into a contract. If you have the highest bid and are declared the winner, you will enter into a legally binding purchase contract.

If you place bids on multiple items, you must complete each of the transactions on each item won separately. Requests to remove a bid is prohibited and the account will be flagged.
