WAYS TO BID AND REGISTRATION FORMS
In Person
There are many ways to bid at our auctions. Bidding live in the showroom, however, is one of the most exciting ways to bid. Your first step would be to register to bid by filling out our Bidder Registration and Credit Card Authorization Form at our customer service desk during or before the exhibition, or you may register by filling out the Bidder Registration and the Credit Card Authorization Form, electronically, here on the website. After your registration is processed, our staff will provide you with a bidder number paddle. This paddle allows you to bid at the auction for which you are registered. You must register for each auction in which you would like to bid.
Online
For your convenience, we utilize the services of online bidding platforms, such as LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com to facilitate online bidding at our auctions. Each auction may utilize one or more of these services. All auctions may not be available on all services. Please check the auction listing on our website to determine which online bidding services are available for a particular auction. Once you register with the online bidding service of your choice, we will contact you to complete your Bidder Registration and Credit Card Authorization Form. To expedite this process, you may fill out the Bidder Registration and the Credit Card Authorization Form, here on the website. Once the registration process is complete, and your payment history has been reviewed and found satisfactory, our staff will then authorize you to bid online at the auction for which you have registered. You must register for each auction in which you would like to bid.
