The auctioneer will act as proxy for absentee bidders. Your bids will be increased only a needed to surpass the next-highest bid — or the reserve — up to your maximum stated amount. For example: The reserve on Lot XX is $1,000. You are bidder #1 and have placed an absentee bid in the amount of $2,000. Bidder #2 has entered a maximum bid of $1,100. As your proxy, the auctioneer will enter a bid of $1,125 (only increasing the amount as required to best the next-highest bid), and you become the high bidder.
