Bidding

Reading the minimum bid

What the minimum bid means and how the timer works.

Every lot shows a minimum bid and an auction end time.

  • The minimum bid is the lowest amount we will accept. Bids below it are rejected.
  • The timer counts down to the close. Once it hits zero, bidding stops and the highest bid wins.

A lot may also show Upcoming (bidding not open yet) or Ended (closed). You can only bid while a lot is Live.
