WHEN AND HOW THE AUCTION CLOSES Beginning at 9:00pm of the last day of the auction our system activates a ten minute countdown clock. Each bid received after 9:00pm will extend the entire auction closing by ten minutes from the time that bid is placed (see "Overtime bidding" below). All items remain open for bidding until we receive no new bids on any items in the auction for a period of ten minutes. At that point the entire auction (all lots) will close automatically and no bids will be accepted after that time. This ensures that everyone will have the time and opportunity to rebid on any items on which they've been outbid without the fear of bid snipers. We anticipate that the auction will run for several hours after the clock begins but cannot guarantee a definite end time. For this reason we recommend that you take advantage of the maximum bid option when placing your bids. You can set a maximum bid amount on any lot upon which you are bidding and the bid will be placed on your behalf by the auction program, if necessary, to secure the lot for the lowest possible bid, unless another bidder tops your maximum amount. The maximum amount you set will only be applied, as necessary, if someone else should place a bid on that lot after your bid is placed.

Maximum bidding option You can set a maximum bid amount on any lot upon which you are bidding and the bid will be placed on your behalf by the auction program. The maximum amount you set will only be applied as necessary - if someone else should place a bid on the lot after your bid is placed, the system will automaticaly go to the next increment level, leaving you as the high bidder - until your maximum is reached.

Minimum bids and Bid Increments A minimum bid is the price at which the lot will start at. Bids cannot be accepted below the minimum bid. The minimum bid is often times well below the estimate.
Bids are placed at incremental levels. The following is the bid increment table: Lots up to $250 are raised in $25 increments. All lots at or above $250 are automatically raised at an increment of 10%. Bidding on lots of $10,000 and over If you are bidding on a lot that reaches $10,000 or above you will be contacted by a Gotta Have It representative and asked to provide references and/or your banking information, including name of bank, bank account number and a bank contact. We do this to protect our bidders from those who may not be seriously bidding and are "upping" the bid increments. For your safety, and ours, we want to make sure that all bidders on items of $10,000 or more can cover their payment if they are the winning bidder. Payment Invoices will be emailed within 48 hours of the close of auction (unless you are otherwise notified). Invoices must be paid within 14 days of receiving.
