How does the auction work?

Our New Bidding Platform brings you the latest technology to offer remote online bidding from anywhere in the world. This platform allows you to leave an absentee bid prior to the auction or participate live on sale day.

1) Click on Login/Register to bid on the top of this page
2) Click Register in the top right corner
3) Put in your email address & create password for your new account
4) Complete your profile –> then click “Save Profile”

*Once we receive your request, we will contact you for further information to approve you to bid.

There are two ways to bid:

Absentee bidding

You can place absentee bids in advance of the live auction. Bodnar’s Auction hassle-free absentee bidding system ensures you get the best prices. Be sure to submit your maximum bid amount before the live auction begins. Your bid stays at the lowest minimum amount required to keep you in the lead, and increases (up to your max amount) only if another bidder places a competing bid.

Live bidding

Your chances of winning are three times greater when you bid during the live auction. The live auction always begins at 11:00 am on sale day. To bid live, simply visit the catalog at 11:00 am and click ‘Enter Live Auction’. You will be taken to the bidding console where the live auction is taking place.

You do not need to register to bid to view the auction live. The live feed is open to the public and free of charge. You only have to register to bid if you want to place a bid.

When the sale goes live at 11:00 am we start at the top bid and move forward with Joe Bodnar auctioneering to the live audience virtually where you can place bids live during the event. If you left a bid prior to the start time, Bodnar’s Auction Platform will bid on your behalf.
