What is an Auction?

An auction is a timed event run by an auctioneer, listing multiple items for sale.

What's a Lot?

A lot is a single item—or group of items—you can bid on during an auction.

Auctions use flat or max bidding (set by the auctioneer).

Flat Bidding

You bid the exact amount you want. If someone bids higher, you're out.

Max Bidding

You enter your highest bid. HiBid will automatically bid the lowest amount needed to keep you in the lead—up to your max.

Check your email and watchlist to track bidding and results.

If you win, the auctioneer will contact you for payment, pickup, or shipping.

Questions

Each auction is managed by the auctioneer. Their contact info is listed on the auction page—reach out directly if you have questions or need help.

Soft Close
If a bid comes in during the final minutes, the lot's closing time extends—so everyone has a chance to respond.
Times the Money
Your bid applies to each unit in a lot. For example, bidding $10 on a lot of 5 items = $50 total.
