I didn’t think there was a live auction this year. WDFW site indicates it’s all online too.

Post by: Rainier10 on April 07, 2022, 02:58:24 PM: It is like ebay, just enter the price you are willing to pay and it autobids for you. It will get real interesting just before the close of the auction. People will bid last minute and the auction will extend by 4 minutes or something like that. With a minute to go someone will bid and it will extend by another 4 minutes giving time for a response bid.

Yesterday it was at $80,000. Someone had autobid over $80,000 because someone bid $81,000 and it jumped to $82,000. I assume they wanted to see what the autobid was at and thought maybe it was $85,000, they may have bid $85,500 hoping to gain the lead and the other bidder was higher so the autobid took it to $86,000. $86,000 is what it went for last year and my guess is it is going to go much higher in the next few hours and you will see a few end time extensions.

And no I am not involved in the bidding I just have an understanding of how this one works.

Yes, I think you do have to create an account to watch.

I wasn't paying attention when I paid for this with my VISA card. Cost me an extra $4,800.

Way to go Dan-O. I’ll have a couple bulls for you to choose from but I’ll need a little trespass fee to supplement my raffle tag fund.
