It's very easy to register for the site. Just click on the "REGISTER" button at the top of the page, or the "Register Today" pic at the top right of the page and just fill in the blanks. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE TO REGISTER.
When registering you will be asked to complete a short form which includes standard information such as your contact details, preferred login credentials etc.
Mandatory fields include:-
· Name
· City
· State/Province/county
· Zip/Post Code
· Phone Number
· Birthday
· Username & Password (both of your choosing, the password must be at least 6 characters)
· E-Mail address

Once registered you will receive E-Mail confirmation. IMPORTANT!!!~ If you have an email address that is from a restrictive company (eg. AOL, COMCAST, or any others) that might block emails, you MUST be sure to include us in your acceptable senders. If you don't do this, you will NOT get the confirmation email from us for you registration.
Placing a bid on an item you are interested in couldn’t be easier. You must be logged in to place a bid. When viewing the item details page you will have two areas from where you can place your bid, one next to the item details (under the thumbnail picture, at the top of the page) and a second at the very bottom of the page.
To place your bid, simply enter the amount you wish to bid (e.g. 50.00) and click on the "Place Bid" button. Please note : no currency symbols are required...the bid will automatically be placed in US dollars
Once done you will be asked to review your bid and you will also be able to view important item details, such as the shipping conditions, before confirming your bid. To submit your bid simply press the “Place Bid” button.
If your bid is high enough to be the top bid in the auction a confirmation message will be displayed to you. However, if your bid is not the top bid, be it due to a higher proxy bid or not meeting the reserve price , you will be invited to make a further bid.
You can also place a proxy bid. Proxy bidding allows you to place your “High Bid”. At all times you will only pay the lowest required bid should you win the auction. For example, if the current bid on an auction is $50.00 you can place a proxy bid of $200. Should you remain the only bidder you will only pay $50.00. However should the item receive other bids the site will automatically re-bid for you (up to $200 in this scenario) to ensure you remain in the lead.
Buy It items are items that are available for outright purchase instead of waiting for the auction to end. If there has been no bid placed on the item, you can purchase it outright at the "BUY IT" price by just clicking on the "BUY IT" symbol below the thumbnail photo at the top of the page. This will take you to a page where you can confirm your intention to purchase that item, and when you click on the OK button, you will be taken to a page that will allow you to pay via Paypal if you wish to use this service and this is the only item you want to purchase. If you want to purchase more items, then just search for the next item, and repeat the above process.
PLEASE READ!!!
If you wish to purchase more than one item, AND you wish to have your items combined for shipping, (and who doesn't?)
PLEASE READ THIS!
After
you make your first purchase, you will be taken to a confirmation page
that will allow you to pay for that item via Paypal if you wish. In
order to combine items, DO NOT pay now! Go to the top of the page to
the advanced search function, and find the next item you wish to
purchase. Find the item by the item number, then make the purchase as
you did the first time. Repeat the process until you have made your
last purchase. Then you can either use the message system and send a
message telling us you are done purchasing items, or you can send us an
email stating the same. We will then send you a combined invoice that
will include the combined shipping. You can then send one payment for
the entire total.
This will prevent having to make payments for each individual item, and make it easier for all of us!
We
aplogize for any confusion on this. We are working on a way to combine
the items in an easier way. Please bear with us...we are new to this
too!
