BIDDING INCREMENTS: Just so it is clear to on-line bidders on how we handling internet bids. Given a common instance is you may be the high bidder on a gun at $375.00 but are willing to go to $400.00 as your top bid prior to the actual live auction. We treat on-line bidders as though you are sitting in the crowd and will start the bidding at $375 (unless someone in the live audience starts the bidding higher). At this point if someone in the live audience or on-line bids $400.00, your potential high bid of $400.00 has been trumped or beat and you will not get the gun.
