The auction will close at a rate of 1 lot/parcel every minute.  This auction features extended bidding.  Moyer Auctions online auctions are timed events and all bidding will close at specified time, however, our auctions have an 'Auto-Extend' feature.

Any bid placed within the final 5 minutes results in the bidding on that lot automatically extending by 5 minutes. The bidding will extend in 5 minute increments from the time the last bid is placed until there are no more bids and the lot sits idle for 5 minutes.

This allows all bidding parties the opportunity and no one to be outbid in the last seconds without having the opportunity to bid again - just like a live auction.

BID INCREMENTS:
$50.00 to 500.00 = $25.00
$501.00 to $1,000.00 = $50.00
$1,001.00 to $5,000.00 = $100.00
$5,001.00 to $10,000.00 = $250.00
$10,001.00 & higher = $500.00
