BID EXTENSION
Back this year is the “Bid Extension” feature to our auction.  The way it works is simple.  The closing time on an item will be extended by 5 minutes if a new bid is placed during the last 5 minutes of bidding.  The item’s closing time will continue to extend in 5 minute increments as long as there is continued bidding.  The item will automatically close when there is a 5 minute extension period with no new bids.  Our hope is to increase bidding and receive the most potential bids.  This is a fundraising auction, so every penny counts.  The bid extension explanation appears on every item page next to the online close date and time.
