The sale will commence at a designated time and date and will run for 7 days. The sale will end with every lot finishing at 30 second intervals up until the sales completion. (Please note: Each individual lot displays a unique end time).
If your bid is accepted, you will be notified that you are the current highest bidder. If you are outbid you will be notified by email and have the option to bid again and if you win a lot you will receive an invoice by email after the auction's completion.
Anti-Snipe Feature
In designing this website, Ross's have employed over one hundred years of auctioneering experience to replicate events as closely as possible as they occur in the saleroom. If a bid is placed in the final 30 seconds of the auction, the time will be extended back to 30 seconds. This feature ensures that bidders and in particular underbidders have a fair opportunity to respond to the bidding.
