Learn How To Register And Bid

You've found something you want to bid on. What's next?

  • While you can search our site without an account, to place a bid you must register and upload a Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover card to your account. 
  • Choose a random user name to remain anonymous.
  • Find your item and place your bid. You can place a single bid or a proxy bid. 
  • A proxy bid is the limit you choose and will only increase to that number if another bidder meets it, or outbids you. 
  • You can "heart" items you want to follow so they show first when you log in. Simply click on the gray heart at the top right corner of the main photo.
  • You will receive an outbid notice by text so you won't miss out. No FOMO here! You can also opt-out of these if you prefer.
  • Our auctions run for one week, Wednesday to Wednesday with scheduled pickups on the following Friday and Saturday.
