4. THE ONLINE AUCTION PROCESS
4.1 Procedure
a. You may bid:
(i) by placing a normal bid; or
(ii) through AutoBid.
b. If you bid at an online auction using AutoBid, you are responsible for monitoring the online auction in which you are participating and acting in the auction by instructing AutoBid with your bids.
c. An online auction will start at the specified time and at the nominated minimum starting price.
d. All bids placed at an online auction,
(i) must be made on a per-item basis, and
(ii) may only be increased by multiples of the posted bid increment.
e. We set a minimum price for each item we auction at which the bidding must start.
f. We have discretion to close an online auction before the scheduled time. For example, we may close an online auction if:
(i) there is or we suspect there may be, fraudulent or malicious bidding;
(ii) there may be processing errors;
(iii) there may be technological errors or Site failure; or
(iv) we are not satisfied with proof of ownership of any good listed on the Site.
g. Bids will be ranked in the following order of precedence,
(i) bid price,
(ii) bid quantity, and
(iii) initial bid time.
For example, if two or more bids are for the same bid price, the higher quantity will take precedence. If two or more bids are for the same bid price and bid quantity, the time the bidder placed their first bid on the item (or lot) takes precedence.
h. All bids placed on online auctions are made on a per-item basis (unless otherwise specified in the auction details) and bid amounts may only be increased in multiples of the specified bid increment. While you are the current highest bidder on an online auction, you will not be permitted to lower your current bid with a new lower bid, nor will you be permitted to lower your bid quantity with a new bid. If you want to decrease your quantity, you must wait until your current highest bid is exceeded by another bidder.
i. Winning bids placed at online auctions may be processed by us even if the bidder's bid is successful only in respect of a percentage of the lot or unit volume bid upon by that bidder. For example, if a bidder bids on 10 units and is successful in relation to 2 of those units, but is outbid on the other 8 units, we will recognise the Winning Bid Amount placed by you with respect to the 2 units only.
4.2 Conclusion of online auction
a. The auction closes at the end of the time period specified for that online auction where there are no new successful bids during the 5 minutes immediately preceding the end of the time period specified. If there are any successful bids on a particular lot/item within 5 minutes of the close of the online auction (the going, going, gone period), the auction will continue to be extended until there are no more within the Refresh Period. The Refresh Period may vary from time to time by a number of seconds. We accept no responsibility for any circumstances or incidents arising as a result of any slight variations that may occur in the Refresh Period.
b. When an online auction in which you have participated closes and you are the Winning Bidder, we intend to notify you by e-mail. This notice will include,
(i) notification that you are the Winning Bidder and of the amount of your winning bid; and
(ii) the item number and description.
c. We provide this notice out of courtesy and as a reminder to you. You may not receive this email, however, you are solely responsible for monitoring the status of any online auction in which you participate and non-receipt of a Winning Bidder (or any other) email from us will not reduce or release you from your obligation to complete the sale and purchase the auction sale item.
d. When you place the winning bid at an online auction, we may charge the cost of your purchase and the cost of the applicable delivery fee, together with any other purchases you have made in accordance with clause 3.2.
e. If you are the Winning Bidder for an item at an online auction, you must complete the transaction and purchase that item.

5.3 Reference to Retail Prices
a. In certain circumstances, an item for sale on the Site may display the manufacturer's original retail price (ORP). Please be aware that this is not a reference to the current recommended retail price of the goods but rather a reference to the price supplied by the manufacturer, distributor or retailer of the item at the time of the item's original sale. That price may not be current as at the time of the sale. We take no responsibility for the display of ORPs on any item listed on the Site. You must satisfy yourself as to the value of the item being sold.
b. In certain circumstances, an item for sale on the Site may include reference to the manufacturer's Recommended Retail Price (RRP). Usually if a RRP is included with a sale item, the RRP has been supplied by the vendor of the item and we assume the vendor believes the RRP is current at the time the item is placed on the Site for sale.

We suggest users independently satisfy themselves as to the value of the item being sold.

You may choose to us the CRP as a reference guide. We take no responsibility for the display of any CRP listed on the Site, and we suggest users independently satisfy themselves as to the value of the item being sold.
