Question

I see some sites that allow absentee bidding before an auction but do not allow the online bidders to bid at the live auction. How does this work?

sitecontributor · Answer

This is sometimes used to allow people to place pre-bids on items in the auction before the live auction begins.  Once the live auction begins, the pre-bidding is closed.  If the pre-bid is accepted and no higher bid placed on the floor, the pre-bid wins the item.
