How to make a commission bid

To make a commission bid you should view the sale/lots you are interested in and click "Place Bid". If you wish to add additional items to your basket do not click "make bid request" at this point. You should return to the auction, select the appropriate lot and again select "place bid". This will add the items to your bidding basket. You can repeat this until you have finished selecting all of your items.

To complete your bidding request you should select "make bid request".

At this point, you will need to complete your details and ensure that you have read, and agreed to, the terms and conditions prior to submitting your request. In relation to each item you will need to state your maximum bid. You can then submit your request.

You must not request a telephone bid and place a commission bid on the same item.

If you wish to delete any or all of the items from your basket you can do this by selecting the appropriate 'Remove' button in relation to each item.
