The playbook

How It Works

  1. 01

    Create an account

    Sign up with email, Google, or GitHub. Free for bidders — no card required to browse or bid.

  2. 02

    Find a lot

    Browse live estate sales or search by category. Watch anything interesting — we notify you before it closes.

  3. 03

    Place bids

    Bids update in real time for everyone watching. Each bid earns XP; streaks and wins unlock badges and coins for power-ups.

  4. 04

    Soft close

    A bid in the final minutes extends the clock. Sniping does not work here — the lot closes when bidding actually stops.

  5. 05

    Win and pay

    Winners pay the hammer price plus the buyer premium shown on the sale (typically 15%). Payment is handled securely through Stripe.

  6. 06

    Pick up or ship

    Coordinate pickup from the sale location or shipping with the seller through on-platform messages.
