Bidding Tips for Success
Do Your Research
Study the auction catalogue thoroughly, research comparable items, and attend viewings to examine lots in person before bidding.
Set Clear Limits
Establish your maximum bid including all fees before the auction begins and stick to your budget to avoid overpaying in the heat of the moment.
Be Patient
Wait for the right moment to bid. Sometimes holding back until later in the bidding can secure better prices and prevent early bidding wars.
Stay Attentive
Pay close attention to the auctioneer and bidding increments. Missing a bid could mean losing the item you want to another bidder.
Bid Confidently
Make clear, decisive bids when you're serious about an item. Hesitation can signal uncertainty to other bidders and the auctioneer.
Ask Questions
Don't hesitate to ask our staff about condition reports, provenance, or any other details that will help you make informed bidding decisions.
