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.

Lucy Lawless has battled dragons, been aboard the Battlestar Galactica and now she wants to have dinner with you and a lucky guest! Have dinner with this Sci-fi superstar in LA January 23-27 or Auckland New Zealand November 2011 - June 2012.

New Zealand icon Lucy Lawless was the star of Xena: Warrior Princess, for which she has an enormous cult following. Lucy has also appeared in the classic TV series Battlestar Galactica and in the hit Adam Sandler movie Bedtime Stories. She can now be seen in her role as the morally ambiguous Lucretia on the hit series Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Gods of the Arena.

In addition to acting Lucy made her singing debut on the TV Show Celebrity Duets and followed that up with sold out concerts in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and London. She has also performed at various benefits and most recently at the 2009 Planet A Concert in her native New Zealand.

Lucy is widely known in her home country for her work with The Starship National Children's Hospital and Greenpeace New Zealand with whom she has partnered on a number of campaigns. In 2009, along with other high profile New Zealanders, Lucy launched ‘SignOn’, a petition urging the government to attend the Copenhagen climate talks and commit to a 40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.

More recently she helped in the fight against government plans to mine the best of New Zealand’s National Park land for low-grade coal. Together they managed to organize a march of more than 30,000 people who opposed the plan, resulting in the government backing down.

Lawless is passionate to raise money for the Rainbow Warrior III. "I want to see Greenpeace continue to battle the Oncelers (Dr Seuss) who are destroying our planet to please their shareholders. What are they doing with their profits? Building a spaceship to go to some secret planet we don't know about? This is all there is. And it's fragile. We've got to make things right – NOW!"
