4. If you place your bids at our auction using other online philatelic platforms (like SAN, PS), we will create an account for you at oldbid.com to transfer such bids on your behalf. All bids up to $25 transferred from other platforms immediately become the current price of the lots if not outbid, ignoring the auction bid increment step due to the technical features of the system. Such bids change the current price of the lot to the value of the transferred bid.
