A NOTE ABOUT EXTENDED BIDDING ("Soft Close")
The Auction Ninja online auction software features extended bidding (a.k.a. "soft close"). It is the closest way to mimic the actions of an auctioneer (in a live auction) in an online/automated format. During a live auction, the auctioneer gives bidders opportunities to increase their bids before hammering the winning bid (when there is no further interest in the lot). This online, automated system will automatically extend the closing time of a lot (auction item) whenever a bid is placed within the last five (5) minutes of its scheduled closing to allow other interested bidders an opportunity to increase their bid (if they wish to do so). This may occur multiple times on any given lot depending on bidder interest. Once all interest and bidding in a lot ceases, the clock will run out and the lot will close.
