How can we help?

An online auction marketplace. Independent sellers list lots in timed auctions, you bid online, and you collect your winnings in person.

Yes. Click Register, enter your details and confirm your email. You must be 18 or older. Each person may have one bidding account.

• Live now: auctions open for bidding.
• Upcoming: auctions that open soon. Click Remind me to get an email when bidding opens.
• Past results: closed auctions and what lots sold for.

1. Open a lot.
2. Check the photos, description, pickup place and closing time.
3. Enter your bid. It must be at least the amount shown.
4. Confirm.

Every bid is binding. Bids cannot be taken back. See the Bidder Terms of Sale.

Enter the most you are willing to pay. The system bids for you, only as much as needed to keep you in the lead, up to your maximum. Nobody else can see your maximum.

The smallest amount a new bid must go up by. It is shown on each lot.

The lowest price the seller will accept. It is hidden. The lot page says whether the reserve has been met. If bidding does not reach it, the lot does not sell.

On sealed lots, nobody can see other bids. The highest bid when the lot closes wins.

Yes. You can raise your maximum at any time before the lot closes.

No. Every lot is sold by bidding.

The bid received first wins.

• Click the heart or Watch on a lot to add it to your Watchlist.
• Your Bidding tab in My Account shows every lot you have bid on and whether you are winning. Use Bid again to raise a bid.

Yes. We email you when someone outbids you.

At the time shown on the lot, by the site’s clock (Eastern Time).

Some auctions offer a preview. The date and place are shown on the auction page. All lots are sold “as is”.

We email you when a lot closes in your favor. The lot also appears on the Won tab in My Account, grouped by seller.

Example: you win a lot at $100. You pay $100 plus a $13 buyer’s premium, plus $7.91 sales tax (7% of $113), for a total of $120.91. You pay the seller when you pick up.

A fee added to every winning bid. On Magnolia it is 13%.

In person, at pickup, directly to the seller. Each seller lists the payment methods they accept, such as cash or card. You’ll find them on the Won tab and in your winning email. We do not take payment online at this time.

All sales are final, and lots are sold “as is”. See the Bidder Terms of Sale.

Contact the seller or us right away. Unpaid or uncollected lots may be cancelled, and your account may be suspended.

• pickup days and times, with an Add to calendar button
• payment methods the seller accepts
• any special instructions

• Your order number
• Photo ID
• Payment
• Help, tools, straps or a trailer for large items. Sellers do not have to help you load.
