You can bid ON LINE - ONLY after logging and receiving confirmed registration.   

If you wish to bid on line, the first step is to register with the auctioneer and receive your Username and Password.

For bidding by fax or mail please use the bellow bid sheet.

Bids received by e-mail, Fax or Telephone are logged and entered into our web system within a day.

when the auction has closed, lots are computer awarded to the highest bidder at 10% over the second highest bid. This means that you will not necessarily pay your full bid for a lot. In the case where yours is the only bid on a lot, we'll sell it to you for the START price. In the case of a tie, the first bid received will take the lot.

Bid what you feel is necessary to secure the desired lot(s); your bid will be executed as needed as competition allows.
