But in all other cases, you are entering a contract to buy the item, and to deliver payment within the time period specified (24 hours from auction closing). If you cannot pay please don’t bid. Your bids are final and non-retractable. We will not accept e-mail bids or any other type of bid outside of the Westlake Liquidation web page or app.

Extended Bidding
Westlake Liquidation uses an “extended bidding” process to close all of our auctions. All items end in a cascade type closing with several items ending over a peroid of time until no bids are made and the item/s close. The process repeats until all bidding has stopped and all items have been ended.
