The leading bidder’s name can be seen at all times during the auction so you can see if you are winning. You will also receive a email notification.

No, your bid is binding if you win the auction.

The bidding does not include GST. Please note that the winning bid may be PLUS GST, if applicable to the seller.

You can place a maximum bid (sometimes known as an auto-bid) to a value of your choice. This means the site will automatically place the minimum bid for you whenever you’re outbid, until you win the auction or until your auto-bid is exceeded by another bidder. If your auto-bid is exceeded then you will receive an email notification saying you have been outbid.

Your maximum/auto-bid is 100% confidential. No one can see what your maximum bid has been set to, including the administrators of the auction. This gives bidder peace of mind that the auction is secure and bids will not be 'driven up'.

This is called extended bidding. The Extended Bidding option automatically extends the end time of the lot by 3 minutes when it receives a bid during the final 3 minutes. This process repeats until no new bids are received during the final 3 minutes of the item bidding window or the auction has been extended for a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the original end time. This prevents what is called ‘Sniper Bidding’, which is when a bidder places a bid at the very end of the auction so that other bidders don’t have the opportunity to outbid

This varies between auctions and the lot values. Some will have set minimum bid increments and other will have fully customisable bids. Please see the auctions Terms & Conditions to confirm bidding procedures.

You do not need to pay any additional fees to bid on Equus Auctions. Please note that the winning bid may be PLUS GST, if applicable to the seller. You can check this in the Auction Conditions.

This varies between auctions. Please contact Equus Auctions for details.

This will usually be because one bidders has set an auto-bid that has exceeded the value of another participants auto-bid, resulting in a substantial jump in the current bid. You can see what bids were automated, as they will have 'Auto' next to them in the bid history.
