The best strategy is to leave your maximum bid ahead of time. Our system will bid incrementally on your behalf. This is a soft close auction. If a bid is placed in the last 3 minutes of a lot's closing, that lot will automatically extend by 3 minutes. All lots close in staggered intervals. If you're unsure how to bid online, contact our office before the final day-we're happy to help! Absentee bids are accepted and will include the 15% buyer's premium. ________________________________________ Sellers: Dan Osterman We appreciate your bids and support-thank you for participating in this online auction!
