BIDDING IN A TIMED ONLINE AUCTION

HOW TO BID IN A TIMED AUCTION, HOSTED ON THE D+H BIDDING PLATFORM


STEP 1
HEAD TO THE D+H ONLINE BIDDING PLATFORM (Click here)
Select the auction.

STEP 2
REGISTER TO BID FOR THE SALE
Click the "REGISTER TO BID" button at the top of the sale page.

If you do not have a D+H ONLINE account you will be prompted to create one by entering your name, email address and a password. You will also be asked to enter credit card details (Note: this card will not be charged for your purchase, but is used to confirm your identity).

Agree to the Terms and Conditions, then click REGISTER.

STEP 3
ENTER THE ONLINE SALESROOM
You can place an absentee bid by entering your Maximum Bid – the highest hammer price you would be willing to pay for the item.

Review and confirm by clicking PLACE BID. From there, if others bid against you, our bidding platform will place incremental bids on your behalf to ensure you remain the highest bidder up to your maximum bid, or until you are outbid.

Note: Only you can see your Maximum Bid amount, if it is higher than the Current Bid.

If you are outbid, an “OUTBID” alert will appear on the screen and you will receive an email.

You will always have at least 5 minutes, after you have been outbid, to increase your bid before the auction closes. 

INFORMATION ABOUT D+H ONLINE AUCTIONS

TIMED ONLINE SALES AND EXTENDED BIDDING
D+ H timed auctions are internet-only auctions that run for a set duration of time and are available for absentee bidding only.

A unique feature in timed auctions is extended bidding. Our bidding platform does not allow sniping. If a bid is placed within the last 5 minutes of a lot's scheduled end time, we extend the sale of that lot by 5 minutes from the last bid. This way other bidders have a chance to place a bid. Extended bidding continues until 2 hours after the last lot’s scheduled end time.

BUYER’S PREMIUM
Buyer's Premium is 25% (inc GST)
