BIDDING PROFILE:

When you register to bid with 208 Pallet Auction, you must create a bidding profile. This profile contains your personal information – you can always view and edit your profile by logging into our website. It is your responsibility to ensure that all the information on that profile is VALID and CURRENT. We rely on that information to contact you and process payment. Address, Phone, Billing, Credit Card and Email information are particularly important! If you need help logging in or resetting information in your profile, contact our office.

EMAIL RESPONSIBILITY:

In order to register to bid in any online auction, you must have a valid email address. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your particular server accepts emails from our server. We use email as our primary method of communication and you will not receive any other method of bidding, registering, or invoice confirmation from our office, so make sure your emails are working. ALWAYS contact our office if you are not receiving proper emails from our company – we can help troubleshoot, but your server may not receive emails as consistently as others.

BUYERS PREMIUM:

A buyer’s premium will be added to each purchase. Buyer’s premium is 10% unless stated otherwise: if you bid $100.00, at checkout you will be charged $110.00. Each and every time you place a bid, you are required to confirm and agree to the total bid price of your initial bid plus buyer’s premium.

AUCTION CLOSING:

1. The closing time of the auction will be listed within the auction information page of our website. Once bidding closes, items you have won become your responsibility – make note of closing times!

2. Our auctions feature EXTENDED BIDDING. If a bid is placed on a lot within the last minutes of the auction, bidding will extend on that lot for 30 seconds or more past the closing time. That lot will remain open until there are no bids on that item during the extended time period. This only affects lots that receive a bid during the last minutes of the auction. Any lot not bid on in the last minutes will close as scheduled. It will stop extending when no bid has been placed during the extended time period.

3. There are occasions when we have an EXTEND ONE/EXTEND ALL auction. In this case, if any single lot receives a bid in the last minutes, ALL LOTS in the auction will extend in 30 second increments.

4. Our auctions offer PROXY BIDDING. This means that you can bid a higher number than the next “Asking Bid”. You can place a max bid at any time in the place bid space by simply entering the highest number you want to bid. When you place a PROXY BID, the current bid price will only go to the next increment, or one increment over someone else’s max bid if one has been placed. The computer will bid for you in the pre-determined auction increments up to your highest dollar entered only if someone else bids against you to raise your bid to that dollar amount.

5. When someone has already entered a PROXY BID on an item you are bidding on, the system will automatically bid for you until you are the current high Bidder or you reach your PROXY BID. If you have reached your PROXY BID and are still not the current high Bidder, the system will give you the opportunity to enter another PROXY BID.

6. Bids will be placed in the order that they are received. If TWO buyers enter a PROXY BID of the same dollar amount, the buyer who entered his/her PROXY BID FIRST will be the bidder that is in at that price. Internet speeds may affect timing of bids being place. A bid isn’t considered placed until it is received by our servers. If you bid a certain amount and see that the bid is indeed that amount, but you are not the 'Winning Bidder', that means that someone else had a max bid of that amount and so their bid was placed into the system ahead of yours. The best way to know if you are out is to check your email as you should get an email every time you are outbid if those preferences set to receive email confirmation.

7. You may request out bid notices when registering for your online bidding account. You can choose to have them sent to your email, cell phone via text message or both. If you are not able to be around a computer/ mobile device during the closing of the auction or receive and/or read your outbid notices, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you utilize the proxy bidding feature. Please remember, you can always raise your max bid, but you CANNOT lower it.

8. 208 Pallet Auction is not responsible for internet malfunctions, loss of connection or system glitches that may prevent you from placing last minute bids, or receiving notices from our company. Don’t wait until the last minute to bid; if the system is busy, your bids may not process within the last seconds of an auction closing.
