Interested in bidding?
Don't go empty handed from your New York car rental vacation. In order to make a bid you will need to provide your name, address, telephone number and banking or credit information as required by the saleroom where you wish to bid. You have the four ways to place a bid.
In person: Raise your paddle when you wish to bid and wait for the auctioneer to acknowledge you. The auctioneer will continue taking ever-increasing bids from each interested party until all but one person drops out. The final bidder is the successful buyer. The auctioneer brings down his gavel on the rostrum and declares the final hammer price.
Christie's Live: With the advent of the internet, even online bidding has become easier than ever. Christie's Live lets you watch, hear and bid in a Christie's auction taking place in the saleroom from the comfort of your computer. Special software is required, which you may download from the Christie's Website at no charge. Registration for online live bidding must be completed two business days prior to the auction. On the day and time of the auction enter Christie's Live from your account page and join the excitement in the saleroom.
Written Bid: If your New York car rental trip does leave you enough time to attend the auction, you may choose to leave a written bid, also called a commission bid or order bid. A member of Christie's staff will try to secure the piece for you at the lowest price possible. Simply print out the absentee bid form at right, specify your maximum bid amount, fill in all other requirements and fax the form to the Bid Department of the saleroom location to reach our hands at least 24 hours prior to the auction.
Telephone Bid: Telephone bids are arranged directly through the Bid Department or Client Services Department. Because telephone lines are limited, telephone bidding may be reserved for the more expensive lots.
