Auction:Star Wars figures, Playsets, Toys, Etc. Part 1 of 3 Update #5
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Bidding Rules:

     The end of the auction is near so it's time to discuss how the
final bidding rounds will be handled.  The auction is scheduled to
end on October 21st at 12:00pm(noon).  I will be sending out a final
public update on Monday October 19th at 12:00pm(noon), from there after
I will be handling the auction through email.  At that time bidding
will be closed to anyone who has not previously bid on an item.  If any
items still have not received the minimum bid they will be pulled from
auction at this time.  If an item has only received one bid it will be
declared sold at this time.  During the final two days I will mail out
updates regularly.  If there are still active bidders by the official
auction close I will mediate a bid off between the interested parties.
When a high bid on a item is topped I will inform the other bidders and
give them a chance to counter.  This will continue until there is only
one bidder left.

      If for some reason you will be unavailable during the final
days of bidding, you may leave a "standing" bid with me.  Your
"standing" bid should be the top price you are willing to pay for
a item.  If someone tops your current top bid on a item I will
automatically increase your bid by 1$.  This will continue until
the other bidders drop out or your until "standing" bid  is topped.

Please email me for the abbreviations and condition explanations.

Auction Rules:

     You must read the auction rules at the end of Part 3 before
bidding.
