BIDDING PROCESS
The auction format will be an on-line public auction to the highest bidder. Please note the times displayed are Central Standard Time (CST). Bidders are urged to review the auction details.
It is the responsibility of the Bidder to follow-up on the status of his/her bid. When purchasing property for sale, funds, or monies of the eligible Bidder should be readily available. ACP is not obligated to wait for eligible Bidders to arrange for financing, and such action, at the sole discretion of ACP, may result in termination of sale and award made to the next eligible Bidder. To maximize the return to the taxpayers, the State will automatically extend the auction in 3-minute increments until one (1) clear uncontested winning bid is awarded.
CONSIDERATION OF BID

If a posted offer is deemed unacceptable to ACP for any reason, the eligible Bidder with the next highest bid, who is in compliance with the online terms and conditions, will become the current high offer.
It is a violation of law to submit offers using a false name or any other fraudulent information, and such offers may not be processed, even if ACP initially accepts your electronic offer. Be aware that if you provide false information, ACP will remove the fraudulent bid from the database and hereby reserves the right to pursue all legal means available to the State of Illinois to prosecute.
