The platform

Everything your bidders touch, under your name.

Live bidding in your own app and on your own website, a clerking screen built for fast sales, and a catalogue that shows every lot properly.

Ways to sell

Three ways your bidders buy, one book behind them.

Room, telephone, pre-bid or app: every bid lands in the same running record.

The room and the internet, bidding together

Your auctioneer works the rostrum as always. Online bidders see and hear the sale as it happens, and their bids land in the clerk's book alongside the room's.

  • Room, telephone, commission and internet bids in one running record
  • Sub-second latency, so an online bidder is never a beat behind
  • One keystroke per bid, with instant undo on a misheard paddle
  • Live audio and video included for every bidder

Bids that arrive before the sale starts

A buyer who cannot be there on the day leaves a maximum in the app or on your website. It is in the book when the lot comes up, so the auctioneer opens with real interest.

  • Set a maximum from the lot page, days ahead
  • Change it any time until the lot opens
  • See wins and pre-bids together under Your lots
  • Outbid and won alerts sent to the phone

Your name on the home screen

An app on a regular buyer's phone is worth more than any amount of advertising. Yours goes to both stores under your own auction house, not ours.

  • iOS and Android, your icon, your listing, your brand throughout
  • Push notifications for sale openings, outbids and lots coming up
  • Watchlists and pre-bids, so buyers commit days before the sale
  • We handle submission, review and every update afterwards

For your bidders

An app they will actually keep on their phone.

The bidder-facing half matters most. If it is awkward, they go back to the marketplace, and the whole exercise is wasted.

Standard and Full

Your website bids live too.

The catalogue goes on your own website as well as the apps, and when a sale is running the whole site follows it: a live bar across the top and the sale in a corner window, wherever the bidder is browsing.

  • One account across the website and the apps, so a bidder signs in once.
  • Live video and bidding in the browser, without installing anything.
  • Your domain, your design, and your catalogue indexed under your name.

Whatever you sell

Catalogued the way your department works.

Estimates, condition reports, hallmarks, provenance and as many photographs as a lot deserves.
