Bidding Online BEFORE the Auction :

An absentee bid is a bid placed before the start of an auction. Bidders are allowed to place absentee bids on an item up until the item is opened for live bidding. When live bidding begins the system will bid on the Bidders behalf up to the amount of their absentee bid. If the system can win you the item for less than the absentee bid it will.

To place a bid, navigate to the item you are interested in. Enter the amount you are willing to bid and click the Place Max Bid button. You will be prompted to confirm your intention to bid, click ok to finalize your bid. That’s it!

If you would like to increase your bid you can do so through the same routine. You will not outbid yourself. For example, if you are the current high bidder at $200 and you left a maximum bid of $250 and you would like to increase it to $400, just enter $400 then click the Place Max Bid button, confirm, you will still be current high bidder at $200 but your maximum bid will be updated to $400 from $250.

If you would like to view the items you have bid on and their corresponding absentee bids, sign in to your account.
