In order to prevent fraudulent bidding, we require a valid Visa or Mastercard to place a bid or purchase any item. This credit card will be automatically processed to pay for the auction item if you are the winning bidder. A preauthorization will be taken for $0.50 upon registration to ensure the card is valid and the information is correct. The preauthorization will be released in approx. 5 business days after registration.
Once your purchase is complete your claim voucher is available under 'My Account' when you are logged into the site. Vendors are unable to release the items without the necessary documentation.
In the event that your credit card fails to process, we will attempt to contact you, as a courtesy. However, we reserve the right to cancel the transaction.

Upon receipt of the item or service, the vendor will remedy any concerns or warrantable situations.
Dutch Auction
In a Dutch auction the seller offers more than one identical item for sale, so that there may be more than one winning bidder. Each bidder can bid for all the items or only some of them. However, all winning bidders need to pay only the lowest qualifying (successful) bid. If there are more successful bids than items available, priority goes to bidder with the highest bid. If bidders have the same highest bid, priority goes to the bidder who submitted their bid first.
In order to beat a competing bidder, one must bid a higher price per item than that competitor, regardless of the number of items that are being bid for. Here is an example of how this might work:
The seller auctions 5 identical items.
Bidder "A" bids for 2 items at $20 each.
Bidder "B" bids for 4 items at $21 each.
Bidder "C" bids for 3 items at $18 each.
The outcome of this auction would be:
Bidder "B" wins 4 items at $20 each.
Bidder "A" wins 1 item at $20 each.
The price is $20 because that was the lowest successful bid.
