You MUST place a bid on the lot in order to bid in extended bidding. Any lots with only one bid will close at the beginning of extended bidding. Reserve Auctions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise by WRRA, each Lot is being sold with reserve as a reserve auction. These terms are applicable to all reserve auctions. The “reserve” is a price below which the Lot will not be sold. Any bid submitted below the reserve price will not result in the purchase of a Lot. Internet Bidding.
