For buyers

How bidding works

From registration to settlement, in four simple steps.

1
Register & verify
Create an account with your email and complete FICA/POPIA verification once — ID/passport, proof of address, and company documents for dealers. We review and approve you.
2
Pay a refundable deposit
Each auction requires a refundable deposit that unlocks bidding rights. If you don't win, it's refunded. Deposits are held securely via Paystack.
3
Bid live
Bid manually, or set a maximum and let proxy bidding place the smallest increment needed to keep you ahead — your maximum is never revealed. Bids in the final minutes extend the lot (anti-snipe).
4
Win & settle
If you're the highest bid above the reserve, you win. We invoice the hammer price plus buyer's premium plus 15% VAT, apply your deposit, and you settle the balance within 48 hours.
