The historical auction model

Absentee bidding first. A scheduled live session next.

Archived lot pages show a two-stage format: an absentee or pre-bidding window opened first, followed by a scheduled live portion on a stated day, date, and time in PST. The countdowns below are illustrative demo UI, while the event names and format language follow the archived record.

Marquee naming pattern

Seasonal “No Reserve” events

The archive used “No Reserve” as a headline hook for major Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and multi-day liquidation events—not as a blanket promise for every auction.
