Here is some more information to help with the bidding process:

What’s BigBoard?
This is where you can view all lot bidding at the same time.We recommend you use Big Board to watch the auction and be sure to refresh your browser to get the most current bid. And you can just click on a
lot number on BigBoard to get detail information, see pictures and bid.
What’s that countdown timer thing under the header?
A Buyer’s Choice Auction means that all lots sell at the SAMETIME.The countdown timer tells you how much time is left before the entire auction concludes. If extended bidding (where an additional time
interval is added to the time left every time someone places a bid.) is in effect, the countdown timer may add time toTime left.
Where can I see the sale offering?
To view all lots, click theView Sale Offering menu tab.Then to see additional details, click on the individual lot# for additional pictures.
Do I have to register and login to see the sale offering?
No, you can watch the Big Board andView the Sale offering without registering. But if you want to bid or setup a watchlist, you must register and setup a username and password. At that time, you will be
assigned a bidder #.
How do I get a bidder # so I can bid?
You are assigned a bidder # when you register.To register, visit www. SaleDayUSA.com and click on the link to the Leachman online auction page. On the auction page, select“Register”, fill in all required
fields and click the Register button at the bottom of the screen.
How do I bid?
From the Big Board, click on the lot # and you will be taken to that lot’s Detail screen or fromView Sale Offering , you’ll see a My Bid Box. In either case, you have to be logged in with the user name and
password you received when you registered to bid. For a manual bid, type your bid amount in the My Bid box and press Send. For a ProxyChoice bid, check the ProxyChoice bidding box above the MyBid box
and then type in your maximum bid amount and press Send.You will be taken to the ProxyChoice screen where you can confirm your bid and even add additional bids for other lots.
What is a ProxyChoice Bid?
A ProxyChoice Bid is the highest dollar amount the bidder is willing to pay for a lot. In its most simple form, the bidder decides the maximum amount he will pay for a particular lot.Visit www.SaleDayUSA.
com for a full explanation for the ProxyChoice Bid process.
What is a Bid Increment?
The Bid Increment is the minimum dollar amount that the bid must be raised.You can bid higher than the Next Bid price (Current Bid plus bid increment) but the computer will not let you bid less than the
displayed“NEXT BID”amount.
What is Extended time bidding?
ExtendedTimes means that the auction is not declared closed until there have been a certain number of minutes of inactivity. If there is any bidding during the inactivity period, the auction is extended until
there is no bidding during the inactivity period.You can always check the Expires In: info that appears on several screens. Seller chooses length of inactivity period. (Ranging from 10 to 2 minutes).
How do I know I won?
If you are the high bidder, the system will send you an email when the auction ends.You will also receive an invoice by email.The invoice email will have complete instructions on payment.
How can I make sure I am seeing the most current bidding information on the screen?
During the bidding process you should refresh your browser to ensure you are viewing the most current bidding screen.We recommend viewing the sale on the BigBoard screen for quickest refreshes.
Is my countdown timer 100% accurate?
Since your own computer may not exactly match the time on the auction server computer, the countdown timer is only an ESTIMATED time. Refreshing your browser will make your time more accurate but
we do NOT guarantee that your countdown time will match the auction server countdown time.
Should I wait until the last second to make sure I get the bid and someone else doesn’t beat me to it?
NO!! Remember the extended time feature! Even if you do bid very close to the end of the auction, as soon as you place your bid, the auction is extended by 5 or 10 minutes. (depending on seller’s choice.)
And, remember, your countdown timer is only an ESTIMATE. If you wait until the last few seconds, your countdown timer could be off by a few seconds and the auction will be declared closed before you have
a chance to place your bid.
If I win, how and when do I pay?
When you win an item you will receive an email that will give you complete details of your purchase.You indicate method of payment you want to use when you register.
