When bidding absentee or proxy you may experience one of two confusing outcomes. First, it is possible that due to the random nature of bidding patterns, a live bidder may win an item for an amount equal to the maximum amount authorized by a bidder before the sale (known as both proxy bid and absentee bid). For instance, if you place a bid of 250 any time prior to the auction and the bidding begins at say 110, the outcome could occur as follows: INTERNET Bidder 110 INTERNET Bidder 120 Competing Bidder 130 Competing Bidder 140 Competing Bidder 150 INTERNET Bidder 160 Competing Bidder 170 Competing Bidder 180 INTERNET Bidder 190 Competing Bidder 200 INTERNET Bidder 225 Competing Bidder 250 In this scenario, the competing bidder won the item for an amount equal to maximum bid placed by an Internet bidder. While any number of patterns could occur, the point is the same. First bid placed is not given precedence by the Liveauctioneers system when a live in-house bidder is involved. And the bidding pattern could occur in such a way that an alternate bidder wins the bid at a price equal to an absentee bidders max amount. With the second potentially confusing scenario, things are, for some reason, different. This system does grant precedence to the bidder who placed their bid first when the bidding is between an Internet bidder bidding live from a computer against a proxy or absentee bid. In this instance, when a live Internet bidder bidding from a computer attempts to bid an amount that is less than or equal to the previously placed bid of an absentee bidder, the system will award that amount to the absentee bidder because their bid was placed first Thus the bid history will show multiple bids in sequence by what appears to be only one bidder. This is actually the system granting that absentee bidder precedence at each attempt by a live Internet bidder to place a bid. This awards the absentee bidder consecutive bid amounts but then leads them to believe that they were advanced time and again without competition.

LiveAuctioneers does not guarantee that Live Auction technology, the LiveAuctioneers Site or any related services will meet individual requirements or be uninterrupted or error-free. LiveAuctioneers does not guarantee real-time performance of any service or that LiveAuctioneers will execute all absentee bids.

We have been conducting live Internet Auctions since 1999. We stand behind our catalog descriptions, we try to keep our buyer's premiums low and we handle as much of the shipping in-house as possible. For large, complex, unweildy or particularly fragile items, we do require that the winning bidder employ a third party shipper. We stay involved in the process when third party shippers are necessary and do our best to see that the buyer is satisfied and that the shipping cost is within reason. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND, IT IS RARELY POSSIBLE FOR THE SHIPPING OF LARGE OR FRAGILE ITEMS TO BE DONE CHEAPly BY ANYONE
