Proxy Bidding

What is a proxy bid?

A Proxy Bid is an absentee bid on a purchase for which one of our auction staff will bid for you in your place. Your bid will go through the standard bidding process. Our auction representative will go up to, but no higher than your top bid, trying of course, to purchase the item(s) for less than your maximum bid if possible.

What are the benefits?

We recognise that for various reasons a party is either not able to actively participate in our auctions or is unavailable at the time of the auction. A proxy bid provides the party with a means of bidding without having to be present at the time, thereby saving time and/or overcoming any technical difficulties which would otherwise prevent bidding.

How can I do this?

All you need to do is download and complete our proxy bidding form, then fax it back to us. Once you have done this you will then need to provide a standard deposit amount which all bidders must do - absentee or otherwise. This simple two-step process will ensure that you can participate in the auction.
