Competitive Bidding Information

RTAM Hour Glass LOGO

This auction system supports competitive bidding of Left bids. The way it works is:

You bid in the Left box whatever you are willing to pay for each item.

If you are the high bid, Your Bid may be lowered to the next bid increment increase over the previous high bid. However, your Left bid is saved; when other bids are posted, your Left bid is bid against them.

How The Left Bids Are Bid

New bids are only accepted if they are a full increment over the current high bid.

When there already is a Left bid which has been lowered:

If the new bid is higher than the current Left bid:
- If the bid is less than a full increment over the current Left bid, it is becomes the current high bid.

- If the new bid is more than a full increment over the current Left bid it is lowered to the full increment increase over the previous Left bid and this becomes the new high bid.

The Left bid is saved to be bid against the next bidder.

If the bid is lower than an outstanding Left bid, and if the Left bid is a full increment greater than the new bid it is bid at the full increment increase over the new bid.

If the Left bid is less than a full increment increase over the new bid, it is NOT bid.
After the bid is placed, the results will show the status of the bid after Left bids are processed.

Call Back Information

A call back from the auctioneer can be requested by clicking on the box under the call back header on each lot line. You should also fill in the call back phone number field at the bottom of the bid sheet with the phone number of where you want the auctioneer to contact you. You may change the call back phone number at anytime.
You can remove the call back request by just clicking on the box and turning the check mark off.

The call back box will NOT appear on the bid sheet once the auction is closed.

Two call back phone number boxes appear at the bottom of the form for the call back. Fill in the second field if there is an alternative phone number you can be reached at if you can not be reached at the first number.
