Bidding:  The auction software and our online bidding platform will notify bidders by email if they have been outbid.  Please consider using the “Max Bid” feature as this will allow the software to bid on your behalf up to, but not exceeding, your Max Bid.  If two or more bidders put in the same Max Bid, the auction software will recognize the earliest placed bid. The real estate is offered for sale to all persons without regard to race, color, religion, sex, handicap, maritial/partner status or national origin. 

Auction Ending: The Auction is scheduled to end at the published end time, subject to auto-extend bidding.  Each time a bid is placed with the clock showing less than 2 minutes, the clock will reset to 2 minutes.  If there are no bids within 2 minutes, the auction will end.  This procedure prohibits any last second “sniping'"from taking place and making it fair for everyone.  In the event the auto-extend time needs to be reduced, Virginia Auction Company, Inc. reserves the right to adjust the auto-extend, as needed. Each lot will be scheduled to close 5 minutes apart starting at the scheduled end time.

Closing: All properties being sold are subject to confirmation by the Honorable, Shannon Foskey, Treasurer of the City of Hopewell, Virginia.
