FAQ

How / When do ONLINE auctions close?

Our auctions will typically close 1 item per minute starting at EDT. However, our larger auctions may close 2 or more items per minute and our specialized auctions may start closing at a different time.

Why do items extend in time?

All auctions feature our automatic extension system which will grant an extension of 1 minutes to the end of the auction of any item receiving a bid during the last (1) minutes. The item will then close when minutes have elapsed without any bidding activity.

What is a Grouped Extension?

Occasionally, EK AUCTIONEERS will group together similar assets in an Internet only auction and place them in a bidding extension group. Any bid within the last few minutes that causes an automatic extension of bidding on any one of the assets in that group will now automatically extend the bidding on ALL assets in that group.
