Bidding

Information for bidders in Tarisio auctions.

Bidder Registration

Bidders must register for each Tarisio auction in which they wish to participate.

To register online, follow the Register to Bid link. You will be asked to choose a Bidder ID. Your Bidder ID will be visible to others browsing the site and must not identify the bidder. All registration information is kept strictly confidential and secure. Bidders are responsible for keeping their registration information and preferences up-to-date. To make changes to an existing registration, click the Account link.

Please note: there is a $1.00 charge to register.

Tarisio reserves the right to refuse the registration of any bidder at any time.

Opening and Ending Times

Each lot has a separate ending time and date as listed in the catalog. Ending times are staggered to accommodate bidders interested in multiple lots. All times are listed in Eastern Standard (EST), Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), British Summer Time (BST) or Central European Time (CET) as appropriate.

Placing a Bid

To place a bid, select the relevant lot and click Place a Bid. By default, the amount of the bid will be the current bid plus the appropriate auction increment (see Bidding Increments below). If no bids have been placed, the default amount is the opening bid. You will be asked to enter your Bidder ID and password. After clicking Submit Bid, you will receive an email confirming the amount of the bid. If another bidder places a higher bid, you will receive an outbid notice by email. By placing a bid on a Lot (including a Proxy Bid), you are committing to a legally binding and irrevocable offer to purchase the Lot at any price up to and including your highest bid amount. Please see our Terms of Use for more information.
