I was bidding on a Heritage auction Item and my $550 bid turned into $525,500...
 

So I made an honest mistake here while bidding on a card in Heritage's online auction. I bid $525 and then saw a message that said "my bid needed to be $550 or higher". I then entered $550, but I guess my bid of $525 was still entered into that text field so when I typed in "550", I think it added that on to what was already there. The result is that the bid that I intended to enter as $550 got entered into the system as $525,550.

Question is, Will Heritage correct this for me? It was an honest mistake that I caught not 10 seconds after making the bid and immediately reported to them. I still want to bid on the card but just don't want to leave quite such a high MAX bid.

The good news is this is maybe a 2,000-2,500 card only so I don't think it would get rung up too high even if Heritage didn't correct the issue for me. Heh....

Thanks all,

Brian

Re enter your max bid. You can lower it.

Dude, you just made my day....that worked! Whew, I'm relieved....I didn't want that hanging over my head the next 3 weeks until the auction ended.

Thanks so much!!

Yeah, take a guess how I knew you could do that. :)

I bid $60,000 on a psa5 56 Jackie once.

Did the same thing in a Weiss auction a while ago. They were very gracious about fixing it. I did sweat profusely for a few moments, though.

Unless it's stated in their terms otherwise, an auction company HAS to accept a bid retraction until the hammer falls.
