Bidding

Create An Account: To participate, you’ll need to create a free account on our website.

Add A Payment Method: To ensure only verified users are bidding in our auction, we require each account holder to have a valid payment method on file. This can either be a credit/debit card or a bank account. The payment method is initially for verification only. You can choose to use it to pay for your winning bid or you can choose a different payment method at that time.

Place A Bid: Once the online auction has gone live, the lots will display the opening bid amount. By clicking “View Details” you will be taken to the individual lot page where you can place your bid. Bid amounts are automatically incremented. You cannot bid lower or higher than the incremented amount.

Lot Status: Once the auction is live, the lots will begin refreshing every 20 seconds to ensure each user is seeing the latest bid information. If you are the highest bidder on a lot, it will be highlighted green. If you have been outbid, it will highlight orange. Those who have not bid yet will not see a color change until they enter the bidding process for that lot.

Overtime: To prevent sniping, if anyone bids during the last 5 minutes of the auction, it will extend another 5 minutes. This will go on until no one has placed any bids for 5 minutes. Bidding will be user-driven, we will not manipulate the auction to make it last longer.

No Reserve Pricing: This auction is being conducted without any reserve price. There is no minimum price that must be reached, so the item will be awarded to the person who places the winning bid, even if there is only 1 bid.
