How to Bid

Bidding in Live Auctions

Bid Live Online

This feature is new to South Bay Auctions.  A buyer can now bid live online or manage left bids directly on our website. The standard "in-house" Buyer's Premium is applied to all invoices, so there is no extra charge for using this service.

Register/Login

Bid by Telephone

Telephone bidding is provided on a limited basis dependent on demand.  We recommend registering early to reserve a phone line.  One of our staff will contact you ahead of your lot to bid with you in real-time on the day of the sale. The standard "in-house" Buyer's Premium is applied to all invoices, so there is no additional charge for phone bids.

Register & Bid

Leave a Bid

Absentee bids are executed by South Bay Auctions incrementally up to your bid during the sale. An option for a "plus one" tie breaker bid is also available so you won't lose an item to someone else with the same bid. The standard "in-house" Buyer's Premium is applied to all invoices.

Register & Bid

Bid in Person

For over 40 years bidders have always been welcome to join us in person and bid the old-fashioned way. The standard "in-house" Buyer's Premium is applied to all invoices.
