The fine print
You are bidding on seven days of the ticker: the line that walks across the top of every page. Always seen. Never not seen.
Nothing illegal, nothing that needs a lawyer to explain, nothing that punches at the people judging you. The house refuses anything it likes, with a full refund and zero explanation. Taste is the law here.
Your copy must fit in one ticker line. If it needs a paragraph, it needs a different ad.
The board, the scores, and the rankings remain not for sale. You are buying adjacency to honesty, not the honesty.
Winner is invoiced at the hammer and the week starts the moment payment lands. One hour of grace, then the offer moves to the next bid on the ladder, at their bid, with their own hour. And so on, down the ladder.
Any whole-dollar bid that beats the high. Every bid requires a card on file; nothing is charged unless you win. The winner's card is charged the hammer price.
A bid in the final minute moves the hammer one minute out. The clock only runs out when the bidding does.
The hammer price is the price.
