How it works

Three ways to acquire. One standard of trust.

Live auctions, timed auctions and fixed-price or make-offer listings share one account, one checkout and one escrow-protected delivery.

Live auctions

Join the saleroom in real time with streamed video and sub-second bidding, from any device.

Timed auctions

Bid over days, set a confidential maximum, and rely on soft close to stop last-second sniping.

Fixed price & make offer

Buy now at a clear all-in price, or send the seller a considered offer.

How bidding works

Six steps, no surprises.

  1. Register & verifyCreate an account and complete identity checks once; you’re then cleared to bid across every sale.
  2. See the all-in costEach lot shows estimate, condition report, buyer’s premium and a live shipping quote before you commit.
  3. Bid live, timed or set a maximumBid in real time, or leave a confidential maximum and the system bids for you, one increment at a time.
  4. Soft close protects youIn timed sales, a late bid extends the lot so no one wins by sniping in the final seconds.
  5. Pay into escrowYour payment is held, not released, while the piece is packed and shipped.
  6. Inspect, then releaseCheck the piece against its condition report during the inspection window. Funds are released when it ends, unless you open a dispute.
