As a timed online format, this sale is slightly different. The auction catalogue is live now, and you can submit your bids until the lots close – the End Time. For this auction, we have set a staggered End Times, with lots finishing 30 seconds apart. So, Lot 1 will close at 17:00:00 exactly; Lot 2 will end at 17:00:30; Lot 3 will end at 17:01:00… and so on.

If bids are submitted within 5 minutes of the End Time of a lot, the End Time is then extended by 5 minutes to allow for counterbids. This means individual lot End Times will change throughout the auction as late bids are entered. Within 5 minutes of the end time, the countdown timer will turn red, and once that hits zero, the bidding on that lot is officially closed.

If you’re still unsure as to how this format works, do contact us.
