The playbook
How It Works
- 01
Create an account
Sign up with email, Google, or GitHub. Free for bidders — no card required to browse or bid.
- 02
Find a lot
Browse live estate sales or search by category. Watch anything interesting — we notify you before it closes.
- 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.
- 04
Soft close
A bid in the final minutes extends the clock. Sniping does not work here — the lot closes when bidding actually stops.
- 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.
- 06
Pick up or ship
Coordinate pickup from the sale location or shipping with the seller through on-platform messages.
