Bidding on an ActiveBid Lot

An ActiveBid lot is an aggregation of Standard lots. ActiveBid bidding enables bidders to reduce their bids on all lots in the ActiveBid lot at one time by entering a percent bid reduction. The percent reduction is applied discreetly to all lots in the ActiveBid lot. Bidders must enter a bid for each individual lot included in an ActiveBid lot before they can enter a percent bid reduction for the ActiveBid lot.
