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.

Imagine this … alone on the water with famous Red Bull rider, extreme windsurfer, movie star and international “King of Style” Levi Siver on Olhuveli, a pristine island in Laamu Atoll, Maldives.

Levi Siver is one of the most established extreme windsurfing icons in the world, having conquered many waves windsurfing that many surfers would not even imagine tackling, including the infamous JAWS. He is a distinguished participant in the Professional Windsurfing Association World Wave Tour and a famed Red Bull Rider. Levi co-starred and produced in the biggest windsurfing film to date The Windsurfing Movie 2 a follow-up to his role in 2007's genre-defining The Windsurfing Movie, a film that won best director and best soundtrack at the X-Dance awards in 2007. He recently starred and produced Oxbow’s Walls of Perception. He is also a founder of +H20, a platform for water awareness that brings together a community of athletes, conservationists, non-profits and corporations to create purposeful solutions that facilitate positive change on a local to global scale.

The conditions are perfect. Set on the privately owned Olhuveli Island in the Laamu Atoll, in the south of the Maldives archipelago, the event rides on the crest of the opening of Six Senses’ latest luxury eco-resort, Laamu. The Maldives boasts an array of breaks that have lured international surfers for more than 35 years, complemented by a rich underwater eco-system.

Six Senses Resorts & Spas, a recognized innovator in environmental sustainability, hosts the Maldives’ first gathering of water sports icons and the world’s leading water conservationists at WaterWoMen. 
We invite you to join us at this cutting edge of environmental protection and efforts to ensure clean drinking water for all, in one of the most stunning yet precarious aquatic eco-systems on earth. 

Watermen, from legendary surfers, windsurfers and kite surfers to divers and free divers will offer clinics to Six Senses Laamu guests while renowned musicians jam on the sandbanks. Conservationists will lead riveting dialogues and debates on the most pressing marine and drinking water issues facing our planet today while chefs keep us sustained with ethically sourced gourmet food, best enjoyed with biodynamic wines from Australia’s Margaret River.
