  • To place bids, you must first register (if you have not already).

  • To view the photos only; click or tap the magnifying glass in the lower right to open the light box, and then click or swipe back and forth to see all of the photos. You can click or double-tap each photo to zoom in, then click or double-tap again to zoom out. (You can also view the photos from the Lot Details page).

  • To see the full description, details, and photos for each item, click or tap on the “View Lot Details” button on the bottom of the tile.

  • To place a bid: Click or tap the “Bid Now” button (this will appear as “Login” or Register” if you have not completed those steps). You must agree to the terms for the auction before you place your first bid. A pop-up window will appear; the amount of the next required bid is filled in. You can simply click or tap Place Bid to bid that amount, or , to place a Max Bid, fill in a higher amount that the software will execute competitively for you. Click or tap Place Bid again to confirm your bid.

If you are the winning bidder, the tile for that item will turn green, and the top will have a “You Are Winning” banner. The current high bid will be shown on the bottom left, with your max bid (if any) in parenthesis underneath it. Don’t worry, you’re the only one who can see that.

If you are outbid, the tile for that item will turn red and the banner will say “You Are Outbid”. The current high bid shows in larger type on the bottom left, with the amount of your highest bid in parenthesis underneath.

  • To add an item to your Watchlist, click on the “eye” icon on the bottom of the tile. You can access your Watchlist at the very top of of your screen any time you are logged in. To remove an item from your watchlist, click the “eye” icon again.

  • At the end of the auction all winning bidders will receive an email that invoices are ready. Your invoice will be available in your Account under the Invoices tab. There you will find your total, items won (including links to the item catalog listings), pickup instructions including the link to signs up for appointments, address and directions, and payment options.

Also on your Account page, you can edit and update your personal information and email address as necessary, and edit your bidding email notification preferences.
