The Lam Employee PC Sale uses an automatic bidding feature in which the system automatically bids on your behalf, up to the maximum amount you set. Enter the maximum amount you're willing to spend on an item, and the system will continue to bid incrementally for you until either you're the high bidder or your maximum is reached. This means you don't have to keep coming back to bid every time someone else places a bid. Practice bidding here.
Here's how bidding on this site works:
When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the item. The seller and other bidders won't know your maximum bid amount.
This site places bids on your behalf starting with the next bid increment for the auction. The system will bid as much as necessary to make sure that you remain the high bidder. We'll keep bidding for you until bidding reaches your maximum amount.
If another bidder has placed the same bid before you or a higher maximum bid, the system will let you know that you've been outbid so that you can place another bid if you want. However, if no other bidder has a higher maximum bid at the end of the auction, you will win the item even if your bid doesn't go as high as your maximum bid. You may pay significantly less than your maximum price. This means you don't have to keep coming back to re-bid every time another bid is placed.
You won't necessarily pay the amount of your maximum bid. This system will increase your bid on your behalf, using only as much of your bid as is necessary to maintain your high bid position. Your maximum bid is kept confidential (until it is exceeded by another bidder).
