This event features a Live Auction where bidders can place bids online and in the room (hybrid). This auction will run in much the same way as a traditional live auction. It will operate in the following way:

• Each lot is going to be auctioned one at a time. One after the other.
• This means the current lot under auction will appear at the top of the screen and bidding will be open only for that lot.
• Bids can be placed by any approved bidder in the room, or online through the auction platform.
• Bids will not be accepted by any other means.
• At all times the current highest bidder company name and their country will be displayed on the page.
• Bids are placed, and the price will incrementally rise until no further bids are placed.
• At this point the auctioneer will declare the current lot sold.
• The bidder with the highest bid wins the lot.
• The auction will move in to the next lot shown in the upcoming lot list further down the page

The auction will continue until all lots in the upcoming lots list have been auctioned. At which point the auction will be over.

You can place a bid in two ways:

Bid at the next suggested increment:

• Click the "Bid" button.
• Confirm your bid by clicking "Confirm."

Enter a higher bid:

• Type your desired bid amount into the text box next to the "Bid" button. You must enter an amount that's at least the current bid plus the required minimum increment
• Confirm your bid by pressing "Confirm."

Remember:

• Each time you place the highest bid, your paddle number will appear in the row of that specific lot.
• Whenever any user places a bid, all participants will see a notification that says: " Heads up! Someone placed a bid!"
• Stay alert during the auction to make sure you don't lose the lot to another bidder.

Payment for auction lots is due in full. If you attend the live auction, payment is required immediately after the event. If you bid online, payment must be completed within 15 days of the auction date. Please make sure you review the Terms & Conditions you agree to when registering for the auction.

If the winning bidder does not pay within this time, the lot will be offered to the second-highest bidder.

After the auction closes, we will contact you to arrange payment, contracts, and shipping. Once agreed upon, payment can be made via bank or wire transfer. Other options are available and can be discussed as needed.

Payment in full is required prior to be dispatched by the seller.
