Paddles up
Lots with bids in and the clock running. Soft close: a bid in the last five minutes buys everyone five more.
Awaiting a first paddle
Opening bids only. The clock on each one starts the moment somebody raises a paddle. Be the first, and tell the whole neighborhood.
Hammer down
Lately settled. Sold pieces went home with a paddle; the rest came up short of the reserve and sail on in the Hold.
The block is quiet just now. Dive into the Hold and the bidding will follow.
