HOW BIDDING WORKS:

Timed Online Only bidding is the period of time when bidders can monitor the auctions and place live bids on items being offered. Bidders have the opportunity to place their maximum bid (the highest amount they are willing to bid at that time) on an item and let the system bid on their behalf or you can manually bid on an item.  Please note, max bids are not disclosed and no other bidder will be able to see your maximum bid until it has been reached. If you choose to manually bid, be sure to check back often and babysit your high bid status or risk on losing out on that item.  Auctioneer will not take absentee bids over the phone, via email or over social media.  All bids must come through the online bidding platform. In not accepting absentee bids, we are ensuring a fair auction by requiring each bidder to agree to the specific terms and conditions of each auction.

When a bidder is outbid an email notification will be sent to the bidder to the email on file allowing another bid to be placed.  Again, be sure to check you SPAM folder and let your email provider know we are not spam.

BID RETRACTION:  In order to maintain the integrity of the auction, once a bid is placed it cannot be removed other than by the office. Our bid system requires a 2 step process in order to eliminate the possibility of errors. We are able to lower your hidden maximum bid as low as the current bid price of the auction item at the time that we receive the notice.  Notice needs to be made immediately upon realizing the mistake by Buyer, however Auctioneer will not be held liable for being unable to facilitate the change in the system in a timely manner especially during the last 48 hours of an auction when the bidding is the most active.

GENERAL TERMS: All items are being sold "AS IS/WHERE IS" with no guarantee or warranty whatsoever unless otherwise stated in the auction in question.  Any condition or description of an item is given strictly as a courtesy to our clients and is only an opinion and should not be treated as fact.  Please inspect each item carefully, we utilize high definition photography for all of our auctions.  Take advantage of the preview/inspection times if available.  The Midwest Auction Collective powered by Little Bull Auction & Sales Co. is responsible for maintaining the online platform and serves as an online outlet used by independent auction companies (Affiliates) to present their online auctions to bidders.  Please contact the independent auction company directly with questions regarding a particular auction.  Little Bull Auction & Sales’ knowledge of an affiliates auctions are limited to general policy of the platform and to the information that is publicly available on the website.  By placing a bid, bidders are verifying they are at least 18 years old and acknowledging they understand and will comply with both the terms and conditions herein along with auction specific terms. Bidders MUST NOT share their password or account with anyone. Bidders are responsible for bids placed on their account.  You bid is your contract to buy.

BID CLOSING/EXTENDED BIDDING:  There is an auto extension feature enabled for all of our online sales.  THE WAY THIS WORKS is that at the end of an items bidding period, before it closes, it will give you x amount of time to see that you have been outbid.  Auto Extension feature time is as follows:

REAL ESTATE ONLY - 5 minute extension

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to register?

There is no cost to register for the site, registration is FREE.

Why am I am unable to place bid?

Several things can cause this to happen. First, please ensure your account has been verified and you have received your registration email.  If you didn’t get an email, check your SPAM.  Another reason you may be unable to place a bid is if you recently won an auction but have not yet paid for the invoice, our website may restrict bidding on new items until the unpaid invoice has been paid or if you have an invalid credit/debit card on file.  If you continue to experience problems with bidding, please contact us for further assistance at 316-683-2855 or toll free 1-800-508-2855

I bid on an item that I no longer want, what should I do?

In order to maintain the integrity of the auction, once a bid is placed it cannot be removed. Our bid system requires a 2 step process in order to eliminate the possibility of errors. We are able to lower your hidden maximum bid as low as the current bid price of the auction at the time that we receive the notice but that is it.

Why was I immediately outbid?

Our auction allows bidders to enter a hidden maximum bid. If a bidder places a maximum bid on a lot, the system will take the bid only as high as is necessary to become the high bidder. From there, the system will automatically bid, only when necessary, up to the hidden maximum. If you are immediately outbid, it would indicate that a previous bidder has placed a higher hidden maximum bid on the lot.

Do lots have a reserve price?

Very seldom do we have an online auction that has a reserve.  If you place a high bid on an item that has a reserve, the system will tell you if the reserve price is met or not.

What is a maximum bid? 

Our auction format allows bidders to enter a hidden maximum bid. By placing a maximum bid on a lot, the system will take the bid only as high as is necessary to become the high bidder. From there, the system will automatically bid, only when necessary, up to the hidden maximum.

What is Extended Bidding?

All of our auctions are set up with an extended bidding feature keeping people from “snipping” an item in the last few seconds.  As longs as an item continues to receive bids, that item will extend for up to 5 minutes.  The extended bidding period is initiated once an auction countdown is below 5 minutes. During the extended bidding period, all new bids reset the auction countdown to 5 minutes. An item in the auction ends when no new bids are entered for a full 5 minutes. Each item in an auction is on an independent timer so items will end at different times.  Auctions that offer Real Estate MAY have the bid extension feature with extended bidding up to 10 minutes.  You will find that information directly on the front page of the auction in what we call the highlights.
