Bids and Payments
Bidding Over the Phone
If you plan to bid over the phone, please fill out a request form, and email it to us. The request form is really the Absentee Bidder Form, you just have to mark the word “PHONE” in place of the bid. Do not forget to include the phone number where we can reach you at the time of the auction.
To download a request form, click here. Our contact information (phone number and email address) is on the form, you can also find it on the “Contact Us” page .
Once you are approved for phone bidding, we will try to call you a couple of minutes before the lots you are interested in come up for bid.
Live Bidding Over the Internet
You can also take part in live bidding through the Internet. We utilize the LiveAuctioneers and Bid Spirit bidding platforms. Online bidders must register with LiveAuctioneers or Bid Spirit, and get approved for online bidding by Red Bird Auction. If you plan to bid online, please sign up before the auction starts – we may not be able to approve you once the auction had begun.
Here is the link to our latest auction listed with LiveAuctioneers and Bid Spirit. If it brings you to the closed auction, this means that the upcoming auction had not yet been posted yet, please check again later.
