Online Auction with Live Close allows buyers to bid "live" through the internet in real time on the final day of the auction. At the publicly announced end date and time, items shall start selling in order by lot number. As each lot is brought across the auction block on closing day, competition will be between live internet bidders and absentee bidders who have previously submitted bids. Bidders may place real time "live" online bids which shall be executed immediately and processed by the auctioneer until fair warning is provided and the item is sold.

No phone bids or live on-site bidding allowed. Online bids submitted before the "live" close of each lot shall be treated as typical online absentee bids, which the system will execute immediately and bid competitively against other absentee bids - thus, allowing the current demand on any specific item to be known. Your maximum bid will not be exercised unless it is required due to competing bids.

Bidding increments as described in our Terms and Conditions will be followed. Schmitt Horan & Co. and their staff shall on the close of the auction day, accept and adjudicate live bids until the auctioneer declares the item sold. Schmitt Horan & Co. shall not be held liable for a failure to transmit or accept bids placed over the internet. Items shall be sold in a timely manner on the day of the close of the auction. We expect to average about 60 - 70 lots per hour.
