type of BIDDING ("SOFT CLOSE")The auction platform that R2C uses for it's online auctions uses the extended bidding (soft close) method for each lot. R2C uses AuctionNinja.com to conduct it's sales and we adhere to their format. At a live auction, bidders are given multiple opportunities after the last high bid to increase their bids before the winning bid is choosen by the auctioneer, this is usually determined by there being no active new bids. Soft close online auctions use an automated system that will automatically extend the closing time (time remaining with an opportunity to bid) whenever a bid is placed within the last five minutes of its scheduled closing time. This will allow other interested bidders an opportunity to increase their bid (if the wish to do so) in an attempt to win the particular lot. This may occur once or multiple times on any given lot depending on how many bidders are still interested in a single lot. Once all interest and bidding in a lot ceases, the clock will run out and the lot will close automatically.
