STRATEGY FOR BIDDING IN MASTRO AUCTION

[Archive]

#3 At 10:00 p.m. central time each individual lot with more than one bid will go into 15-minute extended bidding. The timer will get reset to 15 minutes each time a new bid is placed. All such lots will close individually after 15 minutes without a bid on that specific lot. NOTE: If you are the current high bidder on a lot and you raise your current ceiling or straight bid, this will NOT reset the 15 minute timer.


#4 In response to the many questions regarding how to know when individual lots close under the "15-minute rule," please note that you DO NOT have to go to each lot's page to find out how much bidding time remains.
Starting at 10:00 central time, your "High Bids List", "Outbids List", "All Bids List" and "Watched Lots List" pages will have a column telling you how much time remains before those lots close. (Remaining time does not show up on the gallery view pages).
Please be aware that the time remaining is current when the page loads on your screen and you should always refresh the screen for the latest updated list of remaining bidding times if you let it sit idle.
