BID INDICATORS:

POPCORN BIDDING:

Bids placed within the last 5 minutes of the auction will extend the timer by an additional 2 minutes. This continues until no further bids are placed, preventing sniping and site crashes while ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to bid before the auction closes.
