Step #3 Register and Choose Bid Method

All participants in an auction must register prior to placing a bid regardless of the bid method they plan to use.  When you proceed to the registration page, you are required to furnish certain information, including your contact and credit card details. This information will be used to generate your invoice, and also be added to our mailing list.  Once registered you can use that combination to bid on any auction on this website without going through the registration process again.

Bid Methods – Depending on the auction type, up to four methods may be utilized to bid for items at auction:

  • Present – in the case of an in-person auction, present your photo ID to register at the auction location and you will be issued a Bidder Number.  During the auction, the auctioneer will announce bids and will be assisted by several bid assistants.  Place a bid by raising your Bidder Number and continue until you are finished bidding.  In the case of online-only auctions an internet terminal is available onsite for a present bidder to register and bid.
  • Online – Some onsite auctions may allow remote live internet bidding plus live in-person bidding.  Other auctions may only allow remote live internet bidding.  Click the “Preview and Bid on this Sale” link provided for the auction on which you want to bid to register, review items, and place bids.  Once registered, you will be prompted to enter an opening bid (this is visible to other bidders), and a maximum bid (this is hidden to everybody but you).  Your bid is represented automatically until your maximum is reached.  You will receive an “outbid” notice if somebody bids higher than you.  Your opening bid will be the winning bid if no other bids are received.  Please ensure that you have placed bids on the correct items, and that the amounts are correct, before you click the “submit” button.  Bids cannot be cancelled once placed.
  • Absentee Bids – Bidders unable to be present at an auction or to bid online during an auction may participate by registering and completing and submitting our absentee bidder form.  Fill out the absentee bidder form completely, enter your minimum and maximum bids, and email or fax it back to us as provided in the form.  We will log the absentee bid online on your behalf before the auction close, and logged absentee bids will form part of the online auction.
