How to register & bid
From sign-up to your first bid — here's exactly how it works.
- 1
Create your account
Head to our live auctions and sign up with your email address. Confirm your email to activate the account — it only takes a minute.
- 2
Verify your identity (FICA & POPIA)
Complete verification once: upload your ID or passport and proof of address. Dealers also add company registration and VAT documents. Your documents are stored securely and privately.
- 3
Register for the auction you want
Open the auction you're interested in and click Register. Complete the short registration form to request access to bid on that sale.
- 4
Get approved
Our team reviews and approves your registration. Approval can take up to 24 hours, so register early — you'll be notified as soon as you're cleared to bid.
- 5
Pay your deposit & start bidding
Pay the refundable per-auction deposit to unlock bidding. Then bid live, set an autobid (proxy) up to your maximum, or submit an offer. If you don't win, your deposit is refunded.
Tip: registrations need approval, so don't leave it to the last minute — get verified and registered a day or two before the auction closes.
