Here's how we are running our December 13, 2012
auction:
BIDDING BEGINS:
Monday December 3, 2012 at 12:00pm Eastern Ti m e
Our auction was designed years ago and still remains geared
toward affordable vintage items for the serious collector. We
describe and photograph each item in the most clear and
easy to understand way possible. However, WE LOVE
QUESTIONS! Call us anytime locally at 301-608-0355 or
toll free at 1-866-462-2273. Always leave a message if you
get our machine. It's always the first thing we check everyday.
REGISTRATION:
You must pre-register to bid. You can do this over the
phone on our toll free number (1-866-462-2273) or online
at www.hugginsandscott.com. Our local phone number is
301-608-0355. Should you choose the online method and
have any problems, please call us for assistance. Our normal
business hours are Monday-Saturday 11-6p, Sunday 12-5p
Eastern Time.
Once registered you will need to confirm your email
address by following the link in the confirmation email that
is automatically sent to your email address that you register
with. At the time of registration, you will create a User ID
and Password, that you are responsible for; you will use that
same User ID and Password every time you log into our site
for this and all future auctions. Bidding is done online or
by telephone.
ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN TIME
3-STEP BIDDING PROCESS:
STEP 1) Initial Bids
NOTE: our countdown clock on each lot is synchronized
by Network Time Protocol to eastern time. The
clock is set to reach 0d 0h 0m 0s at 11:30pm eastern
time, which is when the lot would end if no additional
bids are placed on the lot. If you have not bid on the
lot, you will need to place your first bid by the time the
countdown clock reaches 0d 1h 30m 0s. If you have any
questions, please ask in advance!
You must place an acceptable, initial bid on an item by
10:00 pm on the night the item ends, in order to proceed
to STEP 2. A way to check if your bid was accepted is to go
to “My Bid List”. If the item you bid on is listed there, you
are in. You can now sort your bid list by which lots you
hold the current high bid for, and which lots you have been
outbid on. IF YOU HAVE NOT PLACED A BID ON
AN ITEM BEFORE 10:00 pm EST (on the night the
item ends), YOU CANNOT BID ON THAT ITEM
AFTER 10:00 pm EST, in the extended bidding session
(STEP 2). However, at 10:00 pm on December 13th, if you
are the only bidder on an item that ends that day, that item
will close and you will be declared the winner. We cannot
stress enough; you will want to get your bids in early. For
example, once you get your catalog, if you were to place a
bid (even if you get outbid by another bidder) on every
item that you are interested in, you are good to go and will
be allowed to bid at the end of the auction, without the
possibility of being shutout.
STEP 2) Extended Bidding Session
Between 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm is our “extended bidding
session”. This period of bidding is getting you ready for the
end. You are welcome to continue placing bids on any item
that you have previously bid on, but you may not jump in
on a new item during this time.
STEP 3) Unique Auction Ending Style
Now adopted by most major auction houses; You're
Welcome! Years ago, for some unknown reason, most other
auction houses adopted the procedure to end entire auctions
all at one time. Our way is much more bidder friendly.
Here's how it works: Bidders have our catalog for
roughly two weeks prior to the auction's end, giving them
ample opportunity to place an initial bid before 10:00 pm
on the item's end date. Lots will then begin closing at
11:00pm on their respective end date. If only one bid has
been received and the clock strikes 10:00pm, the lot will
officially close and the lone bidder will be declared the winner.
If there have been two or more bids on a particular
item, that item will remain open until 30 minutes have
passed without any additional bids on that item. A 30-
minute timer is provided for each lot and will be automatically
reset every time a new bid is made on that lot. If you
up your own high bid in the last 30-minutes, the 30-
minute clock will NOT reset. This is now available in real
time on our website. You will want to hit the "REFRESH"
button on your computer as the clock counts down, as our
system will not automatically show an increase in bids.
Bids on items will continue to be accepted between 10:00
pm and 11:00 pm from any bidder that has bid on the item
