Proxy Bidding FAQs
1. How does Proxy Bidding work?
Proxy Bidding allows bidders to submit their maximum bid for an item and have a member of the auction team bid on your behalf. Each time you are outbid, your proxy will automatically bid on your behalf in increments until you win the item or the proxy bidder reaches the maximum amount you designated and you are outbid.
2. How do I get set up with a proxy bidder?
Person (s) who want to bid via proxy must complete all of the following requirements
a. Provide name, address, phone. number, and email
b. Specify auction item(s)
c. Specify maximum bid
d. Indicate preferred payment method
e. To bid via proxy on multiple items, individuals must provide a specific maximum bid for each individual item, specify stop point based on auction items purchased, and/or a maximum grand total amount. Once the sale for auction order is set, proxy bids will be made on individual’s behalf until the predetermined stop point is met or maximum grand total amount is reached.
