To bid on an auction click on the link to the auction from the home page. Once you are on the catalogue, simple click BID to place a bid at the next increment. Make sure to check the Buyers Premium and any specific collection requirements before you bid on an item.
You can also enter a maximum bid. Here you can enter your bid and the system will automatically bid on your behalf up to this amount. If you enter a maximum bid that is equal to another bidder’s bid then their bid will be placed first. If you enter a maximum bid that is not consistent with the bid increments for the lot then your maximum bid will be adjusted.
For example, if you entered a maximum bid of $54 for the above lot it will be adjusted down to the nearest bid acceptable i.e. $50.
If you are outbid you will receive an email with a link to that lot. Click the link in the email to bid again. At the end of the auction or the following day if the auction ends late at night you will receive an email if you are the winning bidder. If you are the highest bidder but the reserve has not been reached you may receive an email indicating the reserve and inviting you to make an offer on the lot.
If your bid is successful, you will receive a confirmation email followed by an invoice. You will be contacted to arrange payment and collection.
