AAMS gives high priority to protecting the privacy of your personal information and the security of your transactions and to prevent the disclosure of your identity. Upon reaching this site your information passes through a firewall designed to keep out unauthorized users. Certain browsers and computers have the ability to communicate securely by scrambling (or encrypting) the information as it passes across the Internet. This method of communication is called Secure Socket Layer or SSL. We require the use of a secure browser before a connection can be made to the registration system. After passing thorough the firewall, the information is scrambled again to ensure that only Detroit Property Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the Auction Co.) and its authorized representatives can read it.
                      The Auction Co. site requires that you give us contact information and a credit card number, which is not visible.

This information helps us customize your bid process for properties offered on the site, and is a security for the transaction. You must review and accept the terms and conditions of this policy and indicate your consent and understanding of the terms on the registration form in order to participate in the bid program.

Posted closing times and displays of Auction Co.'s current time are approximate. Auction Co. reserves the right to close early or extend auctions at any time at its discretion.

Dynamic bidding - The dynamic bid on this website is a feature that does NOT allow an item to sell at the end of the auction until there is 10 minutes of bidding inactivity. Example - An item is bid on at 7:50pm. An auction is scheduled to close at 8:00pm. When this bid is placed the ending time will automatically extend to 8:10pm. When another bid is place at 8:01 the auction will extend until 8:20pm. This will give bidder 19 minutes to place another bid. If no bids are placed this auction will conclude at 8:20pm. The key to your dynamic bidding feature is that the auction extends from the preset closing time in 10 minute intervals, NOT 10 minutes from when you placed your bid.
