Registration
If this is your first time bidding online with Matt Ramsey Auctions you will need to create a HiBid user account and register for the auction before you can bid. You will need an email address to create a HiBid user account. Click "Login/New Bidder" on the menu at the top of the page and follow the instruction to create a HiBid user account. You will then need to click "Register to Bid" for the specific auction you intend to bid on. A credit card may be required for auction registration to verify the identity of our bidders and to protect the integrity of our bidder's pool (you do not have to pay with the credit card, please see payment options). Thank you for your cooperation. Please bid early to ensure you are completely registered.

Max Bid: When you bid on a lot, you may choose to place a max bid (maximum bid) representing the highest amount that you're willing to pay at the moment. The automatic bidding technology will then place bids on your behalf. It will always place the lowest bid necessary and never go higher than your max bid. If you're the first to place a bid on a lot without a reserve price, the bidding technology will place the lowest accepted bid amount for that lot. If you bid on an auction with a reserve price, the bid agent will try to bid the amount of the reserve price so you can actually win the auction. If someone bids against you, the bidding technology will attempt to bid one bid step higher so as to give you a possibility to win the auction. Again, it will never bid higher than your max bid amount. During the auction, you can raise your maximum bid at any time: Just place a new bid for a different amount. You will never bid against yourself, even if you increase your max bid. If two bidders end up placing the same bid, the max bid placed or edited first wins. So it is recommended to place your max bid as early as possible.

Staggered Close: Bidding will close at the time set forth in auction information, however, all items do not close together at that time. Items will close in the order listed on the site, (unless affected by the Soft Close as explained below) and typically close at the rate of one to four items per minute. Our Auction was set up this way intentionally so that bidders can have time to evaluate their overall progress in a sale as individual items close. You may also click on "Live Catalog" to view, in real time format, the lots that have current activity.

Soft Close: In order to give our buyers the best opportunity for a winning bid, we utilize the soft close feature in our auctions. FOR EXAMPLE, If an item receives a bid within the last 1 minute, then the close time will be extended 1 minute from the time the bid is placed. The time will continue to be extended for 1 minute with each newly placed bid and the item will not close until 1 minute have elapsed with no additional bid activity. This eliminates snipers from our internet auctions. We have taken every precaution to set the site up in a transparent manner that allows for the fairest environment for both buyers and sellers.
