Live & Proxy Bidding, itemised.
- 01
Live bidding
We bid in real time during the sale and adjust to how the lane is moving.
- 02
Proxy bidding
For overnight or overlapping sales we set a pre-bid that the platform raises automatically up to your ceiling.
- 03
Fee-aware ceilings
Your ceiling is calculated after buyer fees, gate and storage charges, so the winning bid never breaks your budget.
- 04
Same-day result
Win or lose, you get a text with the final price and what happens next.

“I was in meetings during the sale. They texted me when the bidding passed my number and simply let it go — then found me a better one the next week.”
