Should I take the High Bid during my auction?
Saying no to the highest bid during an auction should be considered carefully and with caution. As a seller, when you say no to the high bid during an auction, auction law dictates that all bids become void and bidding moves back to $0. Some believe this ‘buys time’ and they are allowed to go back and accept the bid. This is untrue. If a farm auction was properly marketed and conducted, then the highest market value was likely already achieved by the highest bid. We offer four hours after the end of the auction for sellers to decide if they accept the high bid or not. This is one way to ensure our sellers have a stress-free auction experience and majority of our sellers confirm the sale of their farmland before bidding even ends!
