- The Proxy Bid system allows a bidder to enter a maximum bid. The system will automatically outbid competing bidders, up to that maximum, by the applicable increment for the item.

- To initiate a maximum bid, you must bid at least $2 more than the current amount (minimum increment requirement). Once placed, your proxy will keep you as the leading bidder up to your maximum bid amount.



Dynamic Bidding End Time

- Posted closing times are approximate and mibidding.com reserves the right to close early or extend auctions at its discretion.

- Dynamic bidding: an auction will not close until there has been 10 minutes of bidding inactivity after the posted closing time. The system extends the auction from the preset closing time in 10 minute intervals (not 10 minutes from the time of the last bid). Placing a maximum bid alleviates the stress of trying to beat the clock, but we encourage you to watch items you are interested in until the end of the auction to prevent being outbid.



Sales Tax

- All items are subject to 6% Michigan sales tax.

- If you are tax exempt, please notify us. You will need to fill out form 3372 Michigan Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption and send to our office prior to the end of the auction.
