The closing time of an item is automatically extended an additional two minutes whenever a bid is placed within the two minutes leading up to an item's scheduled closing time.

Items/lots may be sold by the 'choice' method (high bidder may select one, several, or all of the items/lots offered) by multiplying the final bid times the number of items/lots selected. Refer to HiBids terms if bidding by choice. Also, refer to Hibid for any additional Terms of Auction.
