BID
VIA SMARTPHONE
Click the BLUE link in the welcome text
message to view your personal bidding page.
You can search by category at the top and
bottom of the screen. Select any item to view
its description and place a bid. The Gesture
system prepopulates the minimum bid required.
If you'd like to bid higher than the minimum
bid, just enter a new amount and click BID.
To have the Gesture System automatically bid
for you, select AUTO, enter the amount you
wish to bid up to, then select BID. The system
will bid incrementally up to the designated
amount each time someone bids against you. If
no one bids against you, the minimum bid will
remain.
VIA TEXT
To see the current bid on an item, reply to any
message from Gesture with the item’s 3-digit
item number. The Gesture system will notify
you of the current bid, as well as the minimum
bid required.
EXAMPLE: 102
If you wish to place a bid on the item, reply
with the 3 -digit item number and the amount you would like to bid.
No dollar sign ($) needed.
EXAMPLE: 102 300 (to place a $300 bid on item number 102)
