HOW IT WORKS
This is an online auction for outfitters to market over the counter or allocated tag hunting and fishing trips. Our goal is to help outfitters fill any vacancies they may have through the season while bringing affordable hunting and fishing trips to you.
These auctions will OPEN the FIRST OF EVERY MONTH and CLOSE the SECOND WEDNESDAY of every month at 6PM MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME.
There is a 2% buyer’s premium on each lot.
There is a surcharge of 3.5% for any debit/credit card charges- please read WINNING BIDDER information below for alternative payment options to avoid these charges.
SETTING MAX BIDS
MAX BIDDING option makes bidding convenient allowing you to enter the maximum amount that you are willing to bid on an item. Based on your Account Preferences for notification, you may be notified whenever your auto bid increases &/or when it is exceeded.
Other bidders do not have access to see your auto bid amount.
Your auto bid will not “jump” to the maximum amount. The auto bid will increment up only with competing bids until either the item completes with you as the high bidder, or until your auto bid has been exceeded by another bid.
If another bidder already has an auto bid in place when you place your auto bid, the (2) competing auto bids will continue to increment until either the lower auto bid is maxed out; or if both auto bid amounts are the same the auto bid that was placed first will become winning position of the bid.
Example #1
1. Minimum bid is at $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment. 2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid for $75.00. 3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00. 4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00. 5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:
Bidder #1 - $10 Bidder #2 - $15 Bidder #1 - $20 Bidder #2 - $25 (maximum auto bid placed) Bidder #1 - $30 (high bid position)
Example #2:
1. Minimum bid is $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment. 2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid of $25.00. 3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00 4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00 (same amount as Bidder #1 auto bid) 5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:
Bidder #1 - $10 Bidder #2 - $15 Bidder #1 - $20 Bidder #2 - $25 Bidder #1 - $25 (high bid position)
The high bid is $25 with Bidder #1 in high bid position because Bidder #1 placed the $25.00 auto bid before Bidder #2.
*Buyer’s premium and sales tax will be in addition to the winning bid amount.
