Start Timeclock Applet

Created by popular demand ONSALE now has a real time clock served up directly from our Mountain View, California location. Use this great new feature to time your bidding activity more effectively. The time clock is set to Pacific Standard time. Please remember this when converting to your individual time zone.

This applet will open a "console" window allowing you to see the time at ONSALE's site. This time is used, among other things, to open and close auctions. As long as you keep this window open, the applet will constantly retrieve and display our current time.

If you want to bid on an auction, it is in your best interest to do so as quickly as possible. We do not suggest you try to "time" your bid using this clock. The Internet and our computer systems take time to transmit and process bids. For example, if you place a bid one minute before an auction closes, there is no guarantee that the bid will arrive and register in time. Recall also, that auctions can and often do close after their published closing time. This is part of our "Going, going, gone!" feature which is described in our site documentation.

This feature requires a browser with Java(tm) and JavaScript capabilities. Versions 3.0 and 4.0 of Netscape and Internet Explorer are among the browsers that will work. If you current browser does not support this, please go to the Netscape or Microsoft web site to download the latest versions.
