CREATING AN ACCOUNT AND REGISTERING TO BID

Your login credentials will allow you to register to bid on this property. If you want to bid on more than one property, you will have to register to bid on each property separately.
BIDDING AND MAXIMUM BIDS (PROXY BIDDING)
Once you have registered to bid on this property, you can enter your bid three different ways.
First, you can hit the "refresh" icon in the box where bids are entered. The system will enter a bid for you equal to the current bid plus the incremental bid amount.
Second, you can enter your bid manually.
Third, you can enter a maximum bid by entering the highest amount you are willing to pay for the property. As other people bid on the property, the system will enter bids automatically on your behalf in the minimum increment, allowing you to outbid others automatically until your maximum bid is reached. This automatic bidding feature is known as “proxy bidding.” You can increase your maximum bid by entering a higher amount. You can decrease your maximum bid by entering a lower amount, however, you will not be able to lower your maximum bid below the current bid amount.
THE OPENING BID
Anyone may enter an opening bid. Bidding does not need to start with the plaintiff’s opening bid.
HOW THE SYSTEM TREATS IDENTICAL BIDS
If more than one Person enters the same bid amount, the bid entered first will take priority.
MISTAKES IN BIDDING
You must review your bid carefully before you submit it! No one from the Pike County Sheriff’s Office or Roup will be able to correct your bid if you enter it incorrectly or by mistake. You will have a chance to confirm your bid before entering it, so please review your bid carefully!
EXTENSION OF THE AUCTION
If any bidding occurs in the final moments of the auction, the end of the auction will be extended automatically for successive periods of time to give everyone a fair chance to bid against the other participants. This extension of time is called the “anti-snipe period.” The auction will end after no bidding occurs during the anti-snipe period.
