[How it works- Each auction lot will get its own post. As soon as it gets its own post, the auction is live. Once a lot has been up for seven days it will go “hot.” Every item will got “hot” if bidding reaches retail value. Once hot, each lot is on a 24-hour cycle. If a lot goes a full 24 hours, from 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., without a new bid, the last bid in the comments wins. If we get into a bidding war, with the same people going back and forth, one day at a time, we will post something in the comments of that Auction Lot and schedule a time to bid to the death, at a time mutually agreeable to everybody involved.]
