3. Absentee Bids<br />
Absentee Bidding is another convenient solution if you<br />
are unable to attend an auction in person, to speak on the<br />
telephone or if you simply have a strict budget.<br />
An Absentee Bid should be set at the maximum amount<br />
you wish to bid on the lot/s you are interested in purchasing.<br />
Should the lot/s be knocked down at an amount lower than<br />
the bid recorded on your form, the lot will be sold to you for<br />
the lesser hammer price.<br />
Please note Absentee Bids must be received at least<br />
24 hours prior to the auction to allow time for processing.<br />
To organise an Absentee Bid please follow the link to<br />
the Absentee Bidding form available on our website:<br />
www.gibsonsauctions.com.au. Please fill in & return via email<br />
to mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au<br />
If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s Auctioneers &<br />
Valuers, an email address is to be supplied when you submit<br />
your Absentee Bid, along with clear Photo ID verifying<br />
your address.<br />
4. Online Bidding<br />
Online bidding allows you to bid via the internet in real<br />
time with a live broadcast of the auction. To bid online visit<br />
our website and follow the ‘Live Bidding’ link under the<br />
‘Auctions’ tab.<br />
Please register for this service at least 24 hours prior to the<br />
auction to ensure you do not miss your lot.<br />
Please note online bidding is powered by Invaluable.com<br />
and so will incur a 5% fee on successful lots.<br />
If you have not bid with Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers<br />
previously, a photo ID verifying your address will be<br />
required before you can be approved to bid. Please email to<br />
mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au as soon as practical.<br />
<strong>International</strong> Bidding<br />
If you are bidding from overseas for the first time, you will<br />
be asked to provide a clear Photo ID verifying your address<br />
and a deposit (set at Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers’<br />
discretion) prior to the auction. The deposit is refundable<br />
within 48 hours should you not be successful. If you are<br />
successful the deposit will be deducted from your invoice<br />
total. The remaining balance must be paid preferably by<br />
direct deposit.<br />
Bank details are provided in the Payment & Collection<br />
section of this guide.<br />
