If your bid is the highest bid, then your bid will NOT be incremented. Our increments are based on the following table:\n\n| Bid Range £ | Increment £ |\n|---|---|\n| 0 – 10 | 1 |\n| 10 – 50 | 5 |\n| 50 – 100 | 10 |\n| 100 – 1,000 | 25 |\n| 1,000 – 5,000 | 50 |\n| 5,000 – 25,000 | 100 |\n| 25,000 – 9,940,000 | 250 |\n| 9,940,000 – 9,999,999.99 | 1000 |\n\nExample 1: You checked the increment bid box and bid £ 15,000. Live auction bid is currently at £ 15,000 (a tie with your bid – unfortunately, it happens). Your internet bid is placed next at £ 15,100 (because you checked the increment bid box).

Increment bidding allows Copart to increase your entered bid by one and only one increment in the event your entered bid is tied by a live virtual bidder. If your bid is the highest bid, then your bid will NOT be incremented. Our increments are based on the following table: \| Bid Range £ \| Increment £ \| \|---\|---\| \| 0 – 10 \| 1 \| \| 10 – 50 \| 5 \| \| 50 – 100 \| 10 \| \| 100 – 1,000 \| 25 \| \| 1,000 – 5,000 \| 50 \| \| 5,000 – 25,000 \| 100 \| \| 25,000 – 9,940,000 \| 250 \| \| 9,940,000 – 9,999,999.99 \| 1000 \| Example 1: You checked the increment bid box and bid £ 15,000. Live auction bid is currently at £ 15,000 (a tie with your bid – unfortunately, it happens). Your internet bid is placed next at £ 15,100 (because you checked the increment bid box). The car sells to you at no more than £ 15,100 or to live auction bidder for £ 15,200 or more. ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=436345347143536&ev=PageView&noscript=1)
