Quick answer: To bid in an online auction, register for a free account, browse the open lots, and place a bid (or set a max bid) on anything you want. The highest bid when the lot closes wins. At Kilford Auctions every lot starts at $5 with no reserve, so you can win brand-name items for a fraction of retail.
How do I place my first bid?
Create a free bidder account, add a payment method, then open any lot and enter your bid. You can bid the next increment manually, or set a maximum bid and let the system bid for you up to that amount. You are only charged if you win.
What is a maximum (proxy) bid?
A maximum bid is the most you’re willing to pay. The system bids on your behalf in small increments, only as high as needed to keep you in the lead, up to your max. It’s the easiest way to win without watching every lot.
What happens after I win?
When the auction closes, winners receive an invoice by email (including a 14% buyer’s premium and sales tax). You then arrange local pickup or shipping. It’s that simple.
