Instructions for OnlineLive Bidding

 ACCESS ONLINE LIVE-BIDDING

How does live bidding work? 
Live bidding is like bidding in the auction room through your computer.

How do I activate live bidding? 
If you are already a registered user all you need to do is login to the web site on the sale day.

If you are not yet a registered user you first need to complete our simple registration process.

Do I need to sign-up for each auction? 
Once registered, customers will be able to bid at all our live auctions.

How do I bid in a Live Auction? 
When the auction is about to start you will see the count down for this auction. If you are logged in you will be able to scroll through the lots and flag lots that you would like to bid on. The computer will then give you a reminder when these lots are up for bidding and inform the auctioneer that a web bidder might bid. This allows him to check the web screen for any incoming bids. With the audio link you can hear the auctioneer.

When the auction is about to commence the first lot will be displayed. A button will appear showing the amount currently being asked. To bid for the lot simply click the button. The screen will show if you are the current winning bidder. If you have bid and this does not show then another web bidder has got in before you. This means you need to bid again until you see you are the current winning bidder. If you are the successful bidder when the lot is sold the auction house will be in contact to arrange payment and shipping.
Please note there is a 20% buyer’s premium and a charge of € 2 for each lot (VAT included) on purchase's.
