- The Gene Young Car & Tractor Collection Auction ends Thursday, Sept 26 starting at 7:00pm central time (soft ending, extend one, extend all). This means that any item that receives a bid in the last 5 minutes, the entire auction will extend another 5 minutes and will continue to extend until all items have stopped receiving bids. It allows you, the buyer, an opportunity to bid on one car, the entire collection or another car or tractor if your first choice gets to high without the auction ending before you can bid on another one. We will start reducing the extension time as bidding slows.
- The Gene Young Signs/Gas Pumps & Petroliana/Collectibles online auction ends on Friday starting at 7:00pm. The same terms and bid extension apply just like the car auction. We also have another auction ending that evening (Friday).

It also is extend one, extend all.
