By filling out the enclosed Postal Bidding form from the Catalogue (or downloaded from the Website) and Posting or Faxing this to us. This form must be filled out in full and signed by the intended bidder.

A Watchlist is created when you add a lot from the "Sale 99 Lots" Index, or when you bid directly from that lot (the system will automatically add it to your Watchlist). This will then show your bids you are currently winning and losing right up to the start of the Live Floor Auction.
Any bids submitted before the Sale are final and cannot be modified (except to increase the amount), so please be aware of this and double check all of your bids.

All Live Online bids received will be used to COMPETE against other Live Online Bidders as well as against any bids left (using the published bid increments and starting with THE LOWEST Bid received). All bidding is handled automatically by the Live Online Auction system, so you can bid in full confidence.
You should submit your maximum bids regardless of current Online bidding, as the Live Floor Auction bidding may well raise bids over the current levels (depending on the amount of competition for lots).
Note: On Lots over $500, the MINIMUM BID the system will accept is 70% of the lower estimate given. This may still be under the reserve as seen if the item is then highlighted in RED. Valid bids at or above reserve will be shown in GREEN.
