Bidding

Bidding on an item indicates your intention to purchase that item. Do not bid on an item unless you are able and willing to pay for it.

Before placing a bid you must read all details and descriptions of the product. However, Graeme Hayes Real estate advises that this is a guide only and any descriptions and/or photographs depicted cannot be solely relied upon for the quality or suitability of the item.

If Proxy Bidding is enabled on an auction auto bidding can take place at minimal increments, up to the maximum bid of a registered Bidder.

Proxy Bidding (also known as Automatic Bidding) – Our automatic bidding system makes bidding convenient so you don’t have to keep coming back to re-bid every time someone places another bid. When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you’re willing to pay for the item. The other bidders don’t know your maximum bid. We’ll place bids on your behalf using the automatic bid increment amount, which is based on the current high bid. We’ll bid only as much as necessary to make sure that you remain the high bidder, or to meet the reserve price, up to your maximum amount.
