Important Details
How the auction works: In order to bid on an item; you must put in your credit card. Your credit card will NOT be charged at any time. This is simply how the Adam Marshall Auction Website is set up.
All of the items on the auction have staggered closing times. The items are spaced 20 seconds apart. The first item closes at 12:00, the second item at 12:00 & 20 seconds, the third item at 12:00 & 40 seconds and the fourth item at 12:01. The very last item closes around 1:00.
Items will extend if a bid is placed on that item within the final 2 minutes. This can happen multiple times if bidders continue to bid on that item. When there are no bids on the item in the last 2 minutes and the countdown clock goes to 0, the item is sold.
