How to Bid at Auction

There are four ways to bid at an Iconic Auctioneers Sale: in person at the auction, or for those unable to attend the live event - via telephone, online, or a commission bid. To register to bid, log in or create an account. Please note, all bids are final and non-revocable.

Telephone bidding allows you to bid live. On the auction day one of the Iconic Auctioneers team will contact you prior to the Lot going through and guide you through the process.

Online bidding is also available with their partner The Saleroom. Please note that bidding with a third party incurs an additional 1% buyer's commission.

Commission bidding is ideal if you are unavailable on the auction day. It is the maximum amount you are willing to bid up to and we will execute your bid on your behalf.
