Excitement

The final minutes can change quickly. A competing bid may outbid you, and a qualifying late bid may extend the lot if the auction uses extensions.

Decide on a maximum amount before closing, including the buyer's premium, taxes, and possible pickup or shipping costs. Stay on the lot page to watch the timer and your bid status. If you choose to increase your bid, confirm the new amount and check that it was recorded. Once the lot closes, review the result in your account.
