Overtime Bidding

Why did the auction closing time extend by 10 minutes after I placed my bid? This is called "Popcorn" Bidding: Bids placed within 10 minutes prior to a lot's scheduled closing time will extend the closing time on that lot an additional 10 minutes. This gives all bidders an opportunity to place a competing bid. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.

Max Bid

Your Max Bid is the most you are willing to pay for an auction item. Consider placing a Max Bid if you don’t have time to monitor an auction. Your Max Bid won't be displayed to other bidders, but will be displayed as the current bid based on the bidding increment. You won’t pay the Max Bid amount unless another bid bumps you up to the next increment.

Watching Items

You can monitor items you're interested in without placing a bid by selecting Watch This Item after you've logged into your account. Now you can keep track of the closing date, next minimum bid and number of bids from your Account page. We’ll email you a reminder to bid the morning items you are watching close. You can remove an item from your watch list from your Account page or by clicking the Watch button again.

Closing Time

This is the time the auction will end, but "Popcorn Bidding" could add 10 minutes to the closing time. If a bid is placed within 10 minutes of the closing time, the auction will extend by 10 minutes. This allows competing bidders a chance to stay in the race.

Bid now on this Collage of Broken Record Beatles Art by Robi Walters & Leanne Wright made from shattered vinyl. The albums used are two of the Beatles most infamous albums Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This piece has been signed and endorsed by Sir Paul McCartney one of the remaining Beatles.

Artists Robi Walters and Leanne Wright joined forces after meeting in London in 1991, designing album covers for prominent underground dance labels and producers including Giles Peterson, Bebel Gilberto and Carl Craig. After moving back to Leanne's native Canada in 2004, their art began to reflect the changing nature of the music business.

In their new show Bless-ed at the newly founded Dapper Dan Gallery in New York, they're presenting a series of collages made from smashed records. While most music purists would panic at the sacrilege of destroying a classic album like Michael Jackson's Off the Wall or Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, the artists obliterated the artifacts to turn them into something beautiful. The result is a series of collages that create something new from the materials, each resembling some kind of new gemstone. Both a statement on the changing technology of music, from record to MP3 and a deeply personal collaboration, the upshot is nothing short of mesmerizing.
