 TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2024 FOR LOTS #1-641 AND WEDNESDAY, MARCH, 20 2024 FOR LOTS #642-1928  


All items are on INDIVIDUAL timers. Each item will close once its 20 minute countdown clock expires. 

Each item will close when it has not received a new bid for a period of 20 minutes after 9:00 PM Eastern on the published closing date of the auction.The soonest any item will close is at 9:20 PM Eastern on the published closing date of the auction.

Items that have not received any bids by 9:20 PM Eastern will close.

If the current high bidder raises their maximum bid once the 20 minute rule is in effect, the clock on that individual item will NOT reset. The 20 minute countdown clock will only reset when competing bids are placed after 9:00 PM Eastern on the published closing date of the auction.

The entire auction will close automatically when 20 minutes pass after the last bid is placed and no new bid is placed on any auction item. At that point, no new bids will be accepted after the auction closes and each lot will be awarded to the highest bidder.
