Sale S2 Lot #15 “Miss Magpie” & “The Pet” Lines
Starting bid: £60.00
Proxy Bidding, Also known as Commission Bidding is a concept in which the system automatically bids on your behalf up to the maximum bid amount that you have chosen (“Max Bid”).
Your leading bid will be placed from your max bid, at one increment above the competing bid, thus keeping you in the top position until your “Max Bid” is reached. The driver of the “Max Bid” is bids from other bidders.
This is simply to make the online auction process much easier and less time-consuming. Proxy Bid is the Maximum Bid and not the Current Bid.
- If auction price is between 0 and 750 the bid increment is 10
- If auction price is between 750 and 1500 the bid increment is 25
- If auction price is between 1500 and 2500 the bid increment is 50
- If auction price is over 2500 the bid increment is 100
