If you are concerned about this happening and do not want to lose the item, we will accept your bid with a plus one bid option, or other instructions as indicated by you, the bidder.

Absentee bids must be received one half hour prior to the start of the sale. No absentee bids will be accepted on an item for less than $50.00.
