When you place an absentee bid you are making a binding agreement to purchase the item “as is.” Please review the terms and conditions for each auction If you are a successful bidder on any items we will email an invoice to you after the auction. Items need to be picked up promptly.

Phone bidding

Download and submit our phone bidding form at least 24 hours before the sale to arrange to bid. We ask that you provide us with a primary and a back-up phone number to ensure that we can reach you at the appropriate time. You may also leave a “safety bid”. If we cannot reach you on either of the provided phone numbers we will bid on your behalf up to this “safety bid.”

Live online bidding

Live online bidding is available for some of our auctions. We have dedicated staff members executing all online bids during these auctions. This allows us to extend our customer base worldwide which benefits consignors and buyers.
