Bidding 'Pick of the Pen' supports bidders securing multi-lots, when on offer.
- Once connected to the auction as a registered bidder, the screen will display similar to the image shown below. This will show the individual lots which are available within the current pen or run being offered for sale.
- To operate on the current offering, you must select a minimum of one (1) lot and then the ability to bid will open for you to commence bidding.
- As the highest bidder at the time of the hammer, you will be asked to confirm your selection from those available in a short (5 second) timer. We recommend finalizing your pen selection prior to bidding.
Note: when using a Max Bid, this will only apply for your first selection and is cleared after a portion of the pen is sold. Bidders must reapply their Max Bids.
An example scenario: A online buyer selects Lot 19 & Lot 21 from the above screenshot, and sets a max bid for $2,000. The online buyer is outbid, and the successful buyer chooses to take Lot 19 for $2,250.
Lot 20 & Lot 21 are then available for sale and are auctioned next. The online buyer has the opportunity to bid again, however because only one of their desired lots are available, they may choose to lower their maximum price to $1,500.
The online buyer can bid again manually, or must reapply their Max Bid to their new desired price.
If the lot is sold onsite or to another buyer, and you wish to participate on lots later in the pen, you must reapply your Max Bid or bid manually.
If the lots that are selected aren't sold via the first hammer, you will still need to reapply your Max Bid when the lot reopens.
