This auction will be conducted using the Ultimate Choice auction method which allows for single lot bidding, then combinations or as a whole (2 rounds).
Here is a mini tutorial on how to bid:
For this auction, we are using a bidding platform that allows a bidder to bid on multiple lots. One or more lots is referred to as a "combination" and all the lots is referred to as a "whole".
Round 1 bidding allows bidding on individual lots at a time. FYI, You will be bidding on each tract as a whole, not by the acre. You may bid on multiple lots right now but only at the lot level and this will not create a combination bid. More to come on combinations below.
To Bid: Hover your cursor over the tract you want to bid on and click on it. The box on the right side of the picture will display bidding information. You should see the lot you're wishing to bid on highlight and you will see the selected tracts in the yellow box beneath the tract selector. (If you do not, go back to the map and select your lot.) When you see your tract number, click on "Get Price". Now you will see what your bid price must be. In the white rectangular box with the dollar sign in it, you may either type in the asking bid or you may type in the ultimate price you wish to pay for that lot ("max bid"). By putting in a max bid, the bidding platform will NOT automatically take your bid to your max but will follow the increments set up in the bidding platform.
On Thursday, November 9th at 12 Noon, we will move into Round 2, *the combination round, which allows bidders to bid on multiple lots (including as a "whole") by selecting each lot (or all lots) on which you wish to bid. Again, you will click on "Get Price" to see the asking bid and the cost.
Bidding will begin to close at 7 PM on Thursday, November 16th, 2023.
THIS AUCTION FEATURES AN ALL- AUTO BID EXTEND: When a bid is placed in the final 3 minutes of bidding, the auction bidding will be automatically extended 3 minutes from the time the bid was placed (i.e., if an auction scheduled to close at 6:00 receives a bid at 5:59, the close time will automatically extend to 6:02). The auto extend feature remains active until no further bids are received within a 3-minute time frame.
NOTE: It is very IMPORTANT that every Bidder read and understand the terms & conditions BEFORE bidding (either online or LIVE). Each Bidder is solely responsible for inspecting this property BEFORE bidding (property is sold AS IS, WHERE IS).
We strongly encourage all bidders to inspect/ask questions regarding this potential purchase.
