Bidding In The Online Auctions Is Easy! Just go to the Up For Auction link, browse the items up for auction, and submit your bid (giving us your name, email address and bid amount). Your bid will be screened against the reserve price set by the seller. If your bid exceeds the reserve (or is accepted by the seller as reasonable), then a 10-day "Open Auction" countdown will begin. If other bids are received during this period that are higher than your bid, you will be a given the opportunity to submit the final bid. At the end of the 10-day Open Auction, the highest bid wins!
