8. BIDDING ERRORS: We will not reverse bids that have caused another bidder to be
outbid. Please be aware that many bidders routinely increase their own bid to price an
item out of reach of other bidders. You should immediately review your bids before
submitted. If you bid on the wrong item, we will not reverse your bid. We will not reverse
bids after the auction has begun to close, no exceptions.

want everyone involved to have a good experience and ask that all buyers abide by
these terms and conditions.
10. BIDDING PROCEDURE: If you are immediately outbid when you place your bids,
then you are likely bidding against a maximum bid. Buyers use maximum bids as they
have seen the convenience and do not risk missing the opportunity by placing only real
time bids on items. If you have been outbid, an auto-generated email should be sent to
your email address. While this is a great tool to help keep track of items, it should not be
solely relied upon to know if you have been outbid. Often emails end up in other folders
when they are received, or do not get sent out in time. Once a lot has entered it’s
closing time, emails are not generally sent. If you mistakenly place your bidder number
in the bid field, or make a gross error you must immediately contact our office by email
at ycityemporium@ycityemporium.com . Communication of the error does not in itself
resolve the error. Y-City Emporium, LLC. will attempt to address the bidding error.
11. ABSENTEE BIDDING: Absentee bidding is accepted and handled competitively
through the online platform.
12. AUCTION CLOSING: An auction lot is considered closing when it first hits the 5:00
minute remaining time on the countdown, which is when the auto-extend (soft close)
feature begins. The auction closes at a rate of 2 items every 1 minute. This feature
works great with the auto-extend feature to closely emulate a "live"; auction. If a bid is
placed within the last five minutes of an item’s closing time, the countdown will reset to
5:00 minutes, as to allow a bidder that has been outbid, the chance to bid again.
Extensions will occur until a five minute period is reached with no new bids.
13. WINNING BIDDER NOTIFICATION: You will ONLY be contacted by email (you are
responsible for checking your email). If you feel you have won an item and have not
received an email you must notify us by email at ycityemporium@ycityemporium.com
no later than 9 AM the next day. NOTE: it takes time to process invoices so it may be
the next morning before you receive your invoice.
14. NON-DELIVERY: In the event an item is not available for pickup, the buyer must
notify our onsite staff and file a claim, noting what was not available before leaving
pickup. After you have left the building, Y-City Emporium, LLC. and buyer agree that
there are no grounds to claim non-delivery of item.
