HOW TO BID
Bidding at our Auctions takes place only online. The auction runs for a set period of time and shows the current highest bid. The bidder with the highest bid when the countdown timer ends wins the auction.
Any bids placed in the last ten minutes extend the bidding on the lot by another ten minutes. This gives underbidders the chance to place a counter bid on any lot in the auction.
