Internet Bidding

  • Internet Bidding is available on the following sites. Note that both live and absentee bidding are available on the Internet Platforms.

That will reduce issues of delays on your computer, delays on the internet, power failures at your computer, and similar issues. You can still watch your bids get executed live on the Internet platform of your choice and increase your bid(s) live if you are outbid. Absentee bids can be increased but the increase must be executed a certain number of lots in advance of the lot going to live bidding. Check your Internet platform on the details of absentee bidding.
