Auction name * The part in colour

The end of the name, picked out in your accent colour. Leave it empty for a single-colour wordmark.

Logo

Sits beside the name at the top and in the footer. A square image works best.

Accent colour

The bid buttons, the highlighted words and the price on a lot.

Banner image

Optional. Sits above the headline, full width. Without one the top of the page is a clean gradient.

Headline * Words to pick out in colour

Has to appear in the headline exactly, or it is ignored rather than guessed at.

The line underneath Heading over the lots

Add a lot What is it * Description

Opening bid *

Bid increment

Reserve

Fair market value *

What the thing is actually worth. Only what somebody pays above this may be deductible, and you are expected to say so before bidding rather than afterwards.

Collection only — this cannot be posted at any price

Bidding closes *

Your own time zone. The page says how long is left in words rather than counting down, because a published page runs no script and a clock that cannot tick is worse than a sentence that stays true.

Extend by, if somebody bids at the last moment

Minutes. A bid inside the last few minutes pushes the close out by the same few, so nobody wins by refreshing at one second to go. Zero turns it off.

Won lots can be posted as well as collected

A lot marked collection only still cannot be posted. The sale decides what is on offer; the lot can refuse it.
