Once logged in, you’ll be able to:
- Browse all lots

- View your bidding history via the “My Auctions” section
When Bidding Opens
Each auction will display a start time – bidding begins at that specific date and time. You can view items before hand, but bidding only opens once the auction goes live. When it does, “Place Bid” buttons will appear next to each item.
Placing a Bid
You have two options:
- Enter the minimum bid to participate
- Or set your maximum bid and let the system automatically increase your bid in increments to keep you in the lead
Bids are binding and cannot be cancelled or reduced. Make sure you double-check your amount before confirming. You’ll receive email and website notifications if you are outbid, giving you a chance to raise your offer.
How the Auction Closes
The auction will begin closing lot by lot on the listed date and time. Each item closes at 20-second intervals.
If someone places a bid within the last 20 seconds, the countdown will reset for another 20 seconds—so everyone gets a fair shot.
Payment & Shipping
If you win an item, you’ll receive an invoice by email once the auction closes. Payment method: Card
Shipping: Rates calculated based on location
VAT/Tax: May apply depending on your location
