How do I Place a Bid?

Whether you’re using a computer or a mobile device, our platform ensures that bidding is an effortless process. Here’s how to get started:

1. Selecting an Item:

Begin by clicking on the item that piques your interest. This action will open a detailed view, providing comprehensive information about:

• Current high bid
• Required amount for the next bid
• Time remaining for bidding

2. Placing Your Bid:

To place a bid, enter the desired amount. Remember:

• No need for cents! Bids are in whole numbers.
• If someone outbids you, don’t worry. We’ll send you both an email and a text message with a direct link to the item. This allows you to promptly counter with a higher bid if you choose.

3. Bidding on Mobile:

Bidding on our mobile platform is just as seamless.
