The online auction wrapped up at midnight with plenty of bids coming in at the last minute. The ‘3 minute rule’ was implemented at the end of the auction. This ‘3 minute rule’ stipulated any party who bids online within the last 3 minutes of closing time will trigger an automatic extension of a further 3 minutes of online bidding. This 3 minute trigger continued until 3 minutes elapsed without any further competing bids and a winning bid is achieved.
The rule came into play on multiple jerseys, with a back-and-forth on Tyler Guy’s #24 jersey ended driving up the price to the $1,000 mark which was won by Kim Hagen. Ultimately, the online auction of 17 jerseys brought in $7,990 for the Estevan Bruins.
