Important Auction Changes Effective March 16th 2025
To enhance the bidding experience and improve efficiency, we’re making important changes to our auction format starting March 16, 2025. Here’s what you need to know:
Auction Format Changes:
- One Weekly Auction: We will now host one auction per week featuring approximately 14,000 items. The auction will close every Sunday from 11 AM to approximately 11 PM (ET).
- No Individual Items Under $20: Items with a retail value below $20 will no longer be listed individually. Instead, they will be bundled into “Mystery Boxes.”
- Starting Bid & Increments: All lots will have a starting bid of $5, with bidding increments remaining unchanged.
- No More Proxy Bidding: Max bids will no longer be accepted. When you place a bid, the amount you enter will be immediately displayed to all customers.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Conditions still apply. For more detailed information, it’s always a good idea to review the full terms and conditions provided by Encore Auctions. Happy bidding and may the auction odds be ever in your favor!
To join in on the auction fun, you gotta register first. We need some personal information to confirm your identity and make sure you're eligible to bid. Oh, and credit card details are required too—no, we won't go on a shopping spree with it. All bidders must be of legal age, no kiddos allowed.
Sharing is caring, but not when it comes to your auction account. It's your responsibility, and yours alone. No sharing allowed. We don't want to see your grandma accidentally bidding on a rare vintage guitar.
During the auction, keep an eye on your bids like a hawk. You can track their status within your hibid account. It's like having your own personal bid command center. Exciting, right?
Uh-oh, did you get a bit too trigger-happy with the bidding button? Once a bid is placed, we can't cancel it. So, make sure you double-check those digits before confirming. It's like a tattoo, it's there for good.
Here's where things get interesting! The soft close feature is like our secret weapon to ensure a fair and transparent bidding process. It extends the closing time of an item if a bid is placed within the final minutes of the auction. It's like a bidding dance, but with a twist.
Ah, the soft close feature is like a superhero, fighting against last-minute bidding, also known as "sniping." It gives other bidders a chance to respond to the latest bid. If a bid is placed within the final minutes of the auction, the closing time of the item is extended by a few more minutes. It's like adding extra time to the clock in a basketball game. It's all about fairness and keeping the bidding exciting.
