Buying at Auction

We currently do not hold in person auctions. You can participate by telephone bidding, or online.

Online Bidding

Go to our Upcoming Auctions and register to bid. Once you have been approved, you are able to place absentee bids and also bid live during the auction.

Berner’s uses the Invaluable and Hibid platforms. Please choose the platform of your preference to submit bids. Note that the two platforms are not connected, each platform requires a separate bidder account.

Telephone

Please complete our Absentee Bid Form and check the telephone option. During the auction one of our staff members will call you prior to the lot you are interested in comes up for sale. They will communicate with you what bid the auctioneer is asking and execute your bids at your discretion. Please know that if we cannot reach you via telephone, you are missing your opportunity to bid. You do have the option to leave a “back up bid”. The person calling you will bid up to that amount on your behalf, only if they can not reach you via telephone. We only have a limited number of telephone lines available, so please register your bid early! We sell approx. 100 lots per hour, so plan accordingly.

Telephone bidding is offered as a convenience to our customers, the auctioneers and staff are not responsible for errors or failures in executing bids!
