PLACING A BID
Placing a PROXY BID on an item you are interested in couldn’t be easier. When viewing the item
details page you will have two areas from where you can place your bid, one next to the item
details and a second at the bottom of the page.
To place your proxy bid simply enter the amount you wish to bid, e.g., 50.00. Please note no
currency symbols are required. Once done you will be asked to review your bid. Select BID to
confirm. To submit your bid simply press the ‘Place’ button.
If your bid is high enough to take the lead in the auction a confirmation message will be displayed.
However, if your bid has not taken the lead because of a higher proxy bid or not meeting the reserve price, you will be invited to place another bid.
Proxy bidding also allows you to place your ‘High Bid’. At all times you will only pay the lowest required bid should you win that particular item. For example, if the current bid on an item is 500.00
you can place a proxy bid of 2,000. Should you remain the only bidder you will only pay 500.00.
However, should the item receive other bids the site will automatically re-bid for you (up to 2,000
in this case) to ensure you remain in the lead.
Bidding ends at 10pm the day prior to sale.
Payment must be received by close of business the following Friday.
