If your max absentee bid is $25 or less, the current bid will be set to the full bid amount.
If you place a bid on a lot with existing bids, the current bid will be set to either the highest competing absentee bid plus $10 or 65% of your max absentee bid, whichever is greater.
During the live auction, lots with absentee bids will open at the current bid. We will continue bidding on behalf of the high absentee bidder up to their max bid.
