An example - You bid $400.00 on a lot which is the highest bid received to date. The second highest bid is $250.00. The current high bidding level would be yours at $275.00. Any other bids submitted by others below $400.00 will be automatically topped by a representative of Delmarva Acquisitions and Appraisals, Inc. bidding on your behalf. Delmarva Acquisitions and Appraisals Inc, will not disclose bids placed by others. Only the current bidding level of a lot will be given if requested. The highest bidder shall prevail.
