This applies to bid increments as the auctioneer may change increments at any point during a sale, all absentee bidding both online and with the bid clerk, retracting a bid, re-offering a lot at any point in the sale, or any other situation. Competing bids are often placed at the same increment and the auctioneer has sole discretion as to which bid is accepted during the sale.

Rarely, an auctioneer re-opens the bidding for a previous lot or re-starts the bidding for a lot that is already on the block. We may be unable to reopen the lot due to the confines of the online tool and absentee bids may not register for re-offered or re-opened lots.
