The bidding will extend in 5 minute increments from the time the last bid is placed until there are no more bids, and the lot sits idle for 5 minutes. Therefore, the auction will not close until all bidding parties are satisfied. This ensures no one can be outbid in the last seconds without having another opportunity to bid again.
