What do I need to bid on an auction?
All you need to participate is an internet connection and a credit card. A pre-authorization hold will be placed (but not charged) on your credit card for the property on which you register and intend to bid. Please see the auction registration page for the amount of the hold.
All other terms of the auction are available on the auction page.
