An auction can have one of the following statuses:

• Active (posted on Facebook and available for bidding i.e. not closed)
• Scheduled (saved in the DIYA website DB and scheduled for posting on Facebook)
• Draft (saved in the DB but neither posted nor scheduled for posting on Facebook)
• Sold (closed but there was a winner)
• Expired (closed but there was no winner)
• Closed (a superset of sold and expired auctions)
