What is Extended Bidding?
Fanatics Collect Auctions use an extended bidding model (patent pending) that allows you to participate in a fast-paced, competitive, and friendly auction-closing experience. Extended Bidding ensures the bidder willing to pay the most wins while closing the auction as quickly as possible to keep the experience secure and professional. It also removes the possibility for “sniping”.
How does Weekly Auction Extended Bidding work?
All registered Fanatics Collect users currently in good standing are eligible to participate in extended bidding. Extended bidding begins at 7:00 p.m. PT.
The first bidding window occurs from 7:00-7:30 p.m. PST. Any asset that does not receive a bid from 7:00-7:30 p.m. will close promptly at 7:30 p.m. Any asset still active after 7:30 p.m. PST will close if it does not receive a bid within 5 minutes, and any asset still active after 8:00 p.m. PST will close if it does not receive a bid within 1 minute.
Can I use a third-party sniping service in the Fanatics Collect Weekly Auction?
No, we do not permit third-party sniping services, but do allow maximum bids to be placed throughout the auction. If you place a max bid, it will also carry over into Extended Bidding as long it remains above the highest current bid. You may also place a max bid during Extended Bidding. Max bids are kept strictly confidential with third-party IT firewalling and encryption and additional third-party cybersecurity monitoring and process auditing. Maximum bids placed with Fanatics Collect leverage the most secure software system in the market.
