What time can I start bidding on the auction day?

You can watch the auction live online to check progress. We usually offer around 20-25 lots per hour.

The Auctioneer will regulate the bidding and either accept or decline your bid according to other bids being made

Online Only (Commercial Auctions)

The auction start time will be clearly displayed on our website. We also email this information to our subscribers and registered bidders. To ensure you have the most up-to-date information please sign up.
