Items valued at $500 or more are presented online as well as live on-air during the auction. To bid online, you will need to register. If you bid by calling in, you will have to provide contact information each time you bid, unless you have a speed bid number.
If you have ever purchased an item from our Auction, you already have a speed bid number. A postcard with your number will be mailed to the address on record in May. If you are new to Auction, you will be able to request a speed bid number starting in May. With a speed bid number, you will be able to bid with just your speed bid number and telephone number.
