If you do not intend to pay, DO NOT BID. Absentee Bids: Your maximum bid is kept confidential from the auctioneer. It is therefore possible, in the normal course of soliciting bids from other auction participants, that the auctioneer could sell an item to another bidder for the same amount as your maximum bid.
