Lot 8 - Kennacott House, Kennacott Court, Bude, Cornwall, EX23 0ND

You are not restricted to placing a bid at the minimum bid amount, but can instead increase your bid and place a maximum (proxy) bid in the system. By setting a maximum bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your maximum bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose. You also have the option to decrease your proxy bid.

If two or more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.

Lots will close sequentially in lot number order, with each lot scheduled to close 3 minutes after it's preceding lot. However, these times are subject to change due to the following reasons:

Withdrawn, Postponed and Sold Prior Lots

If a lot is withdrawn, postponed or sold prior before the bidding has started, the system will automatically bring forward the scheduled end times of all succeeding lots to maintain a 3 minute gap between lots closing.

Bidding Extension Window

If a bid is placed within the final 30 seconds of the auction's scheduled end time, the auction will be extended by an additional 30 seconds – known as the 'bidding extension window'.

If a bid is placed in the 'bidding extension window', the countdown clock will immediately reset to 30 seconds again, and the auction will only finish when an entire 30 second bidding extension window passes without any further bids being placed, i.e. 30 seconds of 'bidding silence'.

Changes to the Scheduled End Dates

When an extension window is in progress, the bidding software may push back the scheduled end times of subsequent lots to ensure that lots close consecutively and with a minimum 1 minute duration between each one. When this happens, an advisory note will be displayed on the affected lot(s).

NB : Do not leave placing your bid to the last few seconds. It gives you no advantage, you risk your bid not being received by the server in time and you could lose the lot to another bidder.
