Bidding is only possible once you have completed the online registration process. Once this has been completed an email will be sent to you confirming your successful registration. You may then log onto the site and start bidding. The highest bid buys the Lot, provided it has met, or exceeded the Reserve.
It is important to note that bidding is conducted in accordance with clause 9 of our terms and conditions and, most importantly, once submitted, a bid may not been withdrawn (refer clause 9.2).
