Auto-bid
As a bidder, you don't have to constantly watch auctions and worry about being outbid! All GovDeals Internet Auctions feature an auto-bid. In the bid box on the auction view page, enter the HIGHEST dollar amount that you are willing to pay, and the GovDeals bidding system will bid on your behalf by placing a bid at the current LOWEST minimum bid. If another bidder outbids your LOWEST minimum bid, the system will automatically place another bid, once again making you the current high bidder, until your "top dollar" number is reached. The auto-bidding system will continue to place the LOWEST minimum bids on your behalf until you are the winner of the auction or another bidder bids higher than your auto-bid. Auto-bids are completely private and are never displayed to other bidders. In the event of a reserve price auction, your auto-bid will immediately bid up to the amount of the reserve OR to the max amount of your auto-bid if the reserve price is in excess of your auto-bid.Bid Extension

Q: Hello, can you estimate how long it has been since the hydrogen generator has last been run. How many hours are on the machine (there is a hour meter on the back or rear side, near the top). When it was removed from service was it put into the long term storage configuration per the OEMs instructions for storage? (3/13/20 12:17 AM) A: I have forwarded your questions to Matt Wade, the Farm Lab Director. Once he responds I will provide those answers.Here is the answer I received from Matt Wade.Derek, Here is the answer to the questions: As of January 1, 2020, I was asked to put this system on govdeals. I do not have any information as to the last time the system was used or if it has been stored according to OEM standards. I could not locate any hour meter on the hydrogen generator. Hours Unknown. The tanks are 500 gallon. Thanks, Matthew (3/13/20 9:06 AM) |

Q: This auction was going to end next week and now it is extended for another 30 days why is this and does this happen often? Thanks (5/10/20 8:04 AM) A: The simple answer is Covid 19 and the effect it is having on MTSU operational procedures, resources and personnel availability. The university is under the safer at home order issued by Governor Lee until May 31st. I hope the university is back to normal operating procedures in June.If the order is extending the auction will be extended as well. I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
