A bid may be corrected prior to the next bid or the declaration of a recess. A brief recess may be called at the presiding officer s discretion. If a bidder withdraws, he is no longer a bidder and his deposit will be immediately returned to him if so requested or as soon as the sale auction is closed. When bidding activity lags or ceases, the presiding officer will announce that there is an apparent high bidder and poll the bidders to determine if there are any other bidders. If a bidder passes during the polling, that bidder cannot bid again unless one of the other bidders tenders a higher bid.
Observers are welcome.
Interruptions to the auction process are not permitted. We appreciate your cooperation and ask that once the auction begins, you save side conversation until after the auction closes.
