How Bidding Works in Our Online Auctions
Our BidWrangler bidding platform offers three easy ways to participate:
- Bid the Asking Price – Place the next required bid to become the high bidder.
- Enter a Specific Amount – Submit any bid amount that meets or exceeds the current minimum bid.
- Set a Max Bid – Let the system automatically bid for you up to the amount you choose. This is the best option if you can't watch the auction in real time.
Most auctions use a soft close, meaning if a bid is placed in the final seconds, additional time is added so every bidder has a fair chance to respond. This prevents “sniping” and keeps the process competitive and transparent.
Payment, Pickup & Shipping
After the auction ends, winning bidders receive an emailed invoice with full payment and pickup instructions. Each auction listing includes its own pickup times and location—please review these before bidding.
- All items must be paid for by the deadline listed in the auction.
- Items not picked up during the scheduled pickup window may be forfeited (please see full terms).
- Shipping may be available on select items; details are listed within each auction.
For complete details, see our Online Bidder Terms & Conditions.
