Everything you need to know before your first bid — in plain English.
Register for free — it only takes about two minutes. Browse the auction, watch items, and explore without placing a bid. When you're ready, every lot starts at just $1 and sells to the highest bidder.
Because bids are binding, they generally cannot be canceled. You'll always be asked to confirm before placing a bid, so please bid carefully.
Tap the Quick Bid button to place the next minimum bid. You'll always see a confirmation before your bid is submitted, so there are no accidental bids.
Enter the highest amount you're willing to pay, and we'll automatically bid for you — only by the minimum amount needed, and only if someone bids against you. We'll never exceed your limit, and your Max Bid is always private.
You only pay enough to stay in the lead — not your full Max Bid unless another bidder pushes you there.
No. Your Max Bid is completely private. Only you and the system know your maximum — other bidders never see it.
Ties go to whoever set their max first. If another bidder already had a max bid of $20 in place and you bid $20, their bid wins the tie — they committed to that number before you did.
To beat an existing max, you have to go past it — matching it isn't enough. This is standard at every auction house, and it's one more reason to set your true max early.
That's normal! Another bidder may have entered a higher Max Bid. Simply place another bid — or enter your own Max Bid if you're still interested.
If someone bids during the final 5 minutes, the countdown extends another 5 minutes. This gives everyone a fair chance to respond and prevents last-second "sniping."
We'll notify you as soon as you're outbid. Your My Bids page also shows every item you're bidding on — green if you're winning, coral if you're outbid — making it easy to jump back in with one tap.
Your total is your winning bid plus an 18% Buyer's Premium. You'll always see your total before confirming a bid — no surprises later.
Pick up at our yard, where our team will help load your item. Need shipping? We can arrange freight throughout the Southeast — just ask for a shipping quote before bidding so you know your total cost.
