First you will need to create an account by clicking on the 'Register To Bid' button. If you have never registered with our company before you will need to click the "sign up" link to create a username and password. Once you have created a username and password then you will need to register for this auction. You will be asked for a valid credit card number in order to be able to register. We do not charge your card when registering to bid but we do an authorization for $10 to verify your identity and ability to pay. This is not a charge but an authorization, and it usually comes off your card in a couple hours. Once you have successfully registered to bid then you can place two kinds of bids - either a bid at the next increment or a "max bid'. If you place a max bid the computer will bid at the next increment needed to stay ahead of other bidders up to your maximum. You will receive an email if your maximum has been reached or you have been outbid as long as you have checked the box when you registered to receive bidding notifications via email. When the auction begins to close it will close at the rate of three items per minute with extended bidding. That means if a bid is placed on an item within the last minute then the bidding on that item will remain open for an additional minute. At the conclusion of the auction you will receive an emailed invoice. We will be charging all credit cards immediately at the conclusion of the auction. You will need a paid invoice in order to be able to pick up your items. How Can I Update My Payment Info? Top right corner of web page, click on your name, click on account, scroll down to the bottom and click on update your payment method. Enter current credit card information and click save. Once its saved and shows up, be sure its selected as the default credit card.  How to Reset Your Password Using the "Forgot Your Password?"
