TcBid.Com bidding instructions

Once you have registered with TcBid.Com you will be able to bid on any of our auctions. There are some key terms and information you should know before bidding. Please note we are not eBay nor does our bidding process work like ebay's.

TcBid.Com does not allow for items to be snipped, we use extended bidding on every item that receives a bid in the final minutes of an auction. For smaller auctions the extended time will be 3 minutes For larger auction the extended time will be 5-10 minutes. This allows for fair competition just like you would get at a live auction. Do not wait until the last second to bid you will more then likely be denied the bid because the auction has ended. Again we are not like eBay so please do not try to snipe you will lose out.

For example if item # 1 is at $100.00 with 2 minutes left and bidder number 1000 bids $105.00, the auction will automatically extend for 3 - 10 minutes depending on the size of the auction.

Max bidding allows for TcBid.Com to bid on your behalf if you are unable to attend a auctions closing. This is done by simply placing the maximum amount you are willing to pay for an item in the bidding column. Example would be if an item is at $100.00 and you wanted to bid on item but you will not be able to attend the close of the auction. All you have to do is place your maximum amount you would like to bid on an item in the bidding text box, enter your bidder number and password and click submit bids. The auction software will automatically place bid on your behalf. If the item you wanted to bid on was at $100.00 and you bid $300.00 the software will bid for you until you have the lead bid. This could be the next bid increment or it could be
higher because the previous bidder could also have a max bid placed. This form of bidding is also known as proxy bidding. If you need further help please call our office at 651-472-9985 and we will be glad to further explain our bidding process.
