Online Bidders will be required to register with their name, address, email and cell phone.  You will be asked for a credit card or bank account ACH information in order to bid on items.  Our online bidding system, ClickBid, will notify you if you are outbid or if you win an item.

You must use proper bid amounts that meet the minimum bid and the minimum bid increments in order for your bid to be valid.  The last bidder on each item whose bid has not been voided and that meets both the minimum bid and the minimum bid increment requirements is the winner of the item.  The winner will receive the item upon receipt of full payment of the winning bid amount.  If the winner does not submit the full payment upon demand, the winner's bid will be voided and a new winner will be declared pursuant to the terms above.  Any bid prior to 5:00 pm on January 17, 2026 or after 9:30 pm on January 31, 2026 are automatically void.  All decisions of Domestic Abuse Legal Advocacy Center, PSC ("DALAC") regarding the interpretation of these rules is binding and final.
