Choose your bid
Sign in with email, accept the bidding conditions and complete any required mobile check. Verify and save a card before the live close if you plan to bid beyond your account's no-card limit. Then bid the next increment or set a private maximum.
Your bid stands
Can't make the live close? Your bid still competes. If your bid remains highest and any reserve is met when the lot closes, you win even if you're not watching.
The live close
Each lot gets its moment on the block with a countdown. An accepted bid that changes the current price during the closing window resets the countdown. Raising your maximum without changing the current price does not extend it. The lot closes when its server countdown expires. Follow the live countdown and allow time for your bid to reach the server.

Your winning bid is the price of the lot. There is no buyer's premium, and GST is included. Delivery and transit protection are quoted before you bid.
One delivery charge per auction: $19 plus 2.5% of your total winning bids. The $19 is charged once, not per item. Includes transit protection.
How the numbers work
- Every lot opens at its listed starting price. Quick-bid options are based on the current price, as explained in the increment table below. The bid button always names the exact bid amount, so you never have to work out the next bid yourself.
- We bid for you up to your maximum, using the auction increments and any applicable reserve. Your maximum is private, but it can become the visible price when another bidder reaches it. If two maximums tie, the earlier one wins.
- Nobody bids against you but other buyers. House and staff accounts cannot bid. Automatic bids follow buyers' instructions, so a price increase may come from an existing maximum bid.
How bid increments work
The quick-bid buttons offer four increments based on the current price. The smallest option is selected by default. Choose a higher option only if you wish. Selecting an option changes the amount on the bid button; it does not place a bid. Check that amount before submitting.
A new price or a different lot resets the selection to the smallest option. With no bids yet, the first bid is the listed starting price.
| Current price | Available increments |
|---|---|
| Under $100 | +$1, +$5, +$10, +$20 |
| $100 to under $500 | +$1, +$5, +$10, +$50 |
| $500 to under $1,000 | +$5, +$10, +$50, +$100 |
| $1,000 to under $2,000 | +$10, +$25, +$50, +$100 |
| $2,000 to under $5,000 | +$25, +$50, +$100, +$250 |
| $5,000 to under $10,000 | +$50, +$100, +$250, +$500 |
| $10,000 and above | +$100, +$250, +$500, +$1,000 |
These are direct-bid shortcuts, not private maximums. At a current price of $199, selecting +$50 prepares a bid of $249. Submitting it bids $249 immediately; it does not bid $200 and save the rest as an automatic limit. An existing maximum from another buyer may compete automatically, so your bid may not put you in the lead.
The underlying minimum increment is $1. The larger shortcuts above are suggested amounts, not a change to that minimum. To compete automatically up to a private limit, use Set maximum. Automatic bids use the minimum increment and any applicable reserve, rather than your selected shortcut.
Try setting a maximum against simulated rivals. No account, no money, no binding bid.
