The Unique Auction will close when all requirements have been met.  When an Auction closes, the Successful Bidder will be determined.

c)     Once an Auction closes, the Successful Bidder is given the right to purchase the product and/or service at the price defined by their Successful Bid.  SuperStar Auctions will pay all taxes and shipping expenses, unless the auction is won by a member out of the United States, in which case shipping charges will apply and you pay the difference to ship internationally.  If a Member fails to pay the Successful Bid amount, as defined in this Users Agreement, they will forfeit the right to purchase the product and/or service.  Sales tax will be charged to Winning Bidders who reside in the state of Minnesota.  The sales tax amount is calculated on the total of the Bid Fee plus the Successful Bid amount.
