Hawley Auctions' online auctions are timed events and all bidding will close at specified times detailed in each lot.
SOFT CLOSE: Hawley Auctions online auctions have an auto extend feature, such that if a bid is placed during the final 2 minutes of bidding, the auction bidding will automatically extend for an additional 2 minutes from the time that bid was placed. The auto extend feature remains active until no further bids are received within a two-minute time frame. Lots will close every 20 seconds, one after the other in numerical order, unless the auto extend feature kicks in.
PAYMENT: We will process your winning bids on the card you registered with following the auction close (after Soft Close completes for all lots). You must register for the auction with the credit card that you intend to pay with. You CANNOT update your credit card in the system after registering for the auction.

If you desire to pay with Cash/Check please state this in "notes to auctioneer" section that appears when you register to bid. If you do not contact Hawley Auctions prior to auction closing your CC will automatically be charged.
