If you would like more information about a piece available on Invaluable, we recommend you contact the auction house, gallery or dealer directly.

No, you are not required to create an account to browse Invaluable but creating a free Invaluable account is simple and takes less than 3 minutes.

With a free Invaluable account you can:

Creating an Invaluable account is free. We offer optional paid subscriptions that allow you to view price information of pieces sold in the past 5 to 15+ years.

For “Buy Now” items, buyers are responsible for shipping, handling, and other fees including applicable taxes, if any. For auctions, buyers are responsible for the fees for items won at auction, in addition to tax and shipping. Each auction house may charge a buyer's premium (which is an additional fee that a winning bidder is required to pay above the auction price) as well as other shipping, handling, and other fees including applicable taxes.

You are certainly welcome to watch a live auction without bidding. This can be a great way to familiarize yourself with the process of bidding at auction. Of course, if you find an item of interest that is being offered, we hope you’ll go ahead and place a bid to join the action.

Buyer’s Premium: Percentage additional charge on the hammer price of a lot sold at auction, which is collected by the auction house as their commission on the item.

Absentee Bid or Pre-Bid: A bid placed before the start of an auction.

Live Auction: Live auctions are simulcast events that allow people to bid for items online using Invaluable's live bidding software, at the same time as bidders on the auction floor.

Lot: An item or collection of items to be sold in a group at auction.

Max Bid: The maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the item; this is entered when placing an absentee bid.

Realized Price: The hammer price that an item was sold for.

Reserve: The minimum price that an auctioneer will sell their item for.

Timed Auction: An auction in which the auction house designates a set end time for all items to close, at which point the auction is over and the highest bidder is the winner.

Verified/Unverified: A realized price may be listed as Unverified if the auction house has not verified the price result. If a realized price is listed as Verified, then the auction house has confirmed that it is the correct price result.

Watched Lot: A lot with online bidding on Invaluable that has been saved to your member account. Watched lots make it easier to refer to lots of interest within your account.

Creating a free Invaluable account is simple and will allow you to: participate in Live and Timed auctions, access complete upcoming auction catalogs from trusted auction houses around the world, send messages directly to Invaluable’s auction house partners, receive email alerts for upcoming lots that match your interests, and search the past 12 months of auction price results.

There are two types of auctions available for online bidding through Invaluable, Live and Timed. Each auction type has an icon associated with it. The Timed icon is a clock, and the Live icon looks like an internet signal strength icon.

Live auctions are real time sales that allow you watch the auction in progress and participate during the sale. The date and time you see listed for Live sales are the time the auction begins. You can place an absentee bid on a lot in a live sale, up until the time that lot is opened for live bidding. If you are the highest absentee bidder, our system will place your bids automatically, one increment higher than the last in-room bid, until we have reached your maximum bid.

You can also place live bids during the auction. If you have registered and been approved to bid by the auction house, please follow the steps below:

1. Sign into your Invaluable account using your email address and password.
2. Click Auctions > Upcoming Auctions
3. Locate the auction you would like to bid in, and click the Happening Now button to open the bidder console.
4. When the teal Bid Now button displays the price you would like to bid, just click the button to place your bid.

Timed auctions are internet-only auctions that are run for a set duration and available for absentee bidding only. These auctions allow you to place bids until the scheduled end time for a particular lot. Whoever has the highest bid when the time runs out wins the lot. The date and time you see listed for Timed auctions are the time that bidding on the first lot ends.

To participate in an Invaluable Live or Timed auction, you must first register to bid for the sale. Each auction house has different methods for approving bidders, so we encourage you to register for auctions ahead of time so that the house is able to review your registration. You’ll be notified by email when your request has been approved. You can also check your status anytime by hovering over the user icon in the upper right of the page, then clicking Auctions to view a list of auctions for which you’ve registered.

To register to bid for an upcoming auction, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Upcoming Auctions page to see a list of all future sales.
2. Click the Register to Bid link that is displayed beneath the Happening Now or View Items button for each sale.
3. You are now on the Sign-In/Register page. If you already have an Invaluable account, enter your email address and password to continue to the registration page.
4. Provide the information requested by the auction house and be sure to check off the confirmation box at the bottom of the registration page to agree to the house’s terms and conditions. Then click Register to Bid. The auction house will review your request to bid and notify you if you have been approved.
5. If you do not yet have an Invaluable account, you'll need to create one before you can participate in any auctions on Invaluable. To get started, click Sign Up and enter the requested information.

You may also save a step and register while placing an absentee bid. If you find a lot you like, simply enter your maximum bid. If you are not logged in, you will be taken to a page where you may either log in or create a new account. If you are already logged in, you will be taken directly to the next step, in which you are asked to enter registration info, agree to the terms and conditions, and review your bid. By submitting the bid you are also registering for the auction.

You'll be notified by email when your request to bid has been approved. You can also check your status anytime by hovering over the user icon in the upper right, then clicking Auctions to view a list of auctions for which you've registered.

Approval to bid in any Invaluable sale is at the auction house's discretion. We recommend that you contact the auction house directly if you have any questions about your request for approval to bid.

How to contact an auction house:

1. Log in using your email and password.
2. Hover over the user icon in the upper right, then click Auctions from the dropdown menu.
3. Click the white envelope icon next to the selected sale.
4. In the new message window, select Bidding Approval from the drop-down menu, enter your message and click Send.

Please note that any bids placed while you are in Pending mode will not get presented to the auctioneer on sale day if you have not been approved by the time the lot comes up for auction.

To allow you to participate in auctions more easily, once you have registered and been approved to bid once with a particular auction house, we automatically submit a request on your behalf for all future auctions with that auction house. This means that you will no longer have to register for each and every auction, and will only need to submit a request for approval if you find a new auction house that you would like to participate with.

Each auction house has a particular set of terms in place for their auction. You must review and agree to the terms and conditions when registering or bidding in an upcoming auction. Should have any questions about an auction's terms, please contact that auction house directly.

Placing a bid before the auction begins is typically referred to as an absentee bid. This allows you to get in on the action ahead of the live bidding that takes place when the auction kicks off. You can place an absentee bid on a lot in a live sale, up until the time that lot is opened for live bidding. If you are the highest absentee bidder, our system will place your bids automatically, one increment higher than the last in-room bid, until we have reached your maximum bid.

How to leave an absentee bid:

1. When you find a lot you’d like to bid on, enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for that lot and submit with the Leave Bid button.
2. If you are not logged in, you will be taken to a page where you may either log in or create a new account. If you are already logged in, you will be taken directly to the next step.
3. If you have already been approved to bid in this auction, you will just need to review and confirm your bid. If you have not yet been approved you’ll be taken to a page where you are asked to enter registration info, agree to the terms and conditions, and review your bid.
4. When you submit the bid you are also registering for the auction.

Once a live auction begins, Invaluable bidders gain access to an exclusive online bidding console that simulates all of the aspects of being at the auction house in person. If you have registered and been approved to bid by the auction house, you can place live bids by following the steps below:

1. Sign into your Invaluable account using your email address and password.
2. Click Auctions > Upcoming Auctions.
3. Locate the auction you would like to bid in, and click the Happening Now button to open the bidder console.
4. When the teal Bid Now button displays the price you would like to bid, just click the button to place your bid.

Timed auctions are internet-only auctions that run for a set duration of time and are available for absentee bidding only. These auctions allow you to place bids until the scheduled end time for a particular item. Whoever has the highest bid when the time runs out wins the item.

Timed auctions allow auctioneers to set reserves for their items, as they aren’t there to monitor the bidding live. A reserve is the minimum price that an auctioneer will sell their item for. Depending on bids placed, a “reserve not met” or “reserve met” message will display next to the bid box for any lots with reserves. If the reserve price has not been met by the time the auction ends, the item will not be sold.

Another unique feature in our timed auctions is extended bidding. Invaluable does not allow sniping. If a bid is placed within the last 5 minutes of a lot's scheduled end time, we extend the sale by 5 minutes from the last bid. This way other bidders have a chance to place a bid. Extended bidding continues until 2 hours after the last lot’s scheduled end time.

Some auction houses set a limit on the amount a bidder can bid for the duration of a sale. You may request to increase this limit prior to the auction. Please follow the steps below to contact the auction house:

1. Sign into your Invaluable account using your email address and password
2. Click on the user icon in the upper right.
3. Click Auctions.
4. Click Request Limit Increase to the right of the sale
5. Write your message to the auction house and click Send.

In response to the fifth anti-money laundering directive (AMLD5), if you are located in Europe and/or bidding with an auction house located in Europe you will need to verify your identity if you intend to bid €7,500 or more. You may begin the ID verification process here.

Users who have gone through the process will receive an email once the process is complete and will have a verification status badge on the Edit Profile page of their Invaluable account.

To increase the maximum amount of your absentee bid, please follow the steps below:

1. Sign into your Invaluable account using your email address and password.
2. Hover over the user icon/name in the upper right, and click Bids from the drop down menu.
3. Click View Options next to the lot you’d like to increase your bid on, then click Increase Bid.
4. You'll be taken to the lot page where you can enter a new maximum absentee bid.

Yes, however there are different rules for cancelling bids in Live and Timed sales.

• For Live Auctions: You can cancel an absentee bid placed in a Live sale up until the time that lot is opened for live bidding.
• For Timed Auctions: You can cancel an absentee bid placed in a Timed sale up until two hours prior to the auction’s first lot end time, and a maximum of three bids may be cancelled per session.

Being the high bidder on an item means that you currently have the highest absentee bid on Invaluable.

• For Live Auctions: Being the highest bidder on a lot in a live sale is not a guarantee that you will win the item, as your bid will be competing with live floor bids. Our system will place bids on your behalf on increment until your maximum bid amount is reached. If your absentee bid was highest, your bid history will show you the time when your bid was presented to the internet clerk during the live auction.
• For Timed Auctions: If you are the highest bidder when a lot in a timed sale closes for bidding, you will be the winning bidder of that item.

If a bid is pending, that means that the auction house as not approved your registration to bid.

Please note that any bids placed while your approval is pending will not get presented to the auctioneer on sale day if you have not been approved by the time the lot comes up for auction. Approval to bid is at the discretion of the auction house, therefore, if you have any questions about your registration please contact the auction house directly.

In the Bidders Console of a Live Sale:

Invoices are typically sent by the auction house within 24 to 48 hours after the sale concludes. If the sale took place on a weekend or holiday, you may want to allow extra time for the house to send the invoice. If you have inquiries about the status of your invoice, it is best to contact the auction house directly.

Each individual auction house on the Invaluable platform determines their preferred method of payment. Some may prefer cash or a check, while others accept credit cards or offer the option to use PayPal. You can find the specific methods accepted by the auction house you’re working with in their terms and conditions. Typically, the auction house will send an invoice to the email address associated with your Invaluable account within 24 to 48 hours after the sale concludes, which will include payment instructions. 

When you win an item on Invaluable, you will receive an invoice from the auction house that outlines the additional fees, which include the buyer’s premium, the Invaluable service fee and any applicable taxes. The auction house may also apply additional fees for shipping and handling of the item.

Though infrequent, it is possible for a clerk to accidentally sell a lot to the incorrect bidder. If you believe that you won a lot but the auction house refutes your claim, it is best to communicate with the auction house directly to determine why the miscommunication occurred. By doing so, both auction house and bidder can come to a clear resolution of the situation.

We are pleased to introduce the ability for buyers to submit payment via credit or debit card directly through Invaluable for items won from participating auction houses. Auction houses offering online payment will be noted with credit card icons. You can also check the “Payment” tab on lot details page or look in the terms and conditions section to find the specific methods accepted by the auction house you’re working with, as not all auction houses offer this option.

When registering to bid with a participating auction house, enter your preferred credit or debit card information. If you win an item during the auction, you can conveniently pay with the card on file after you receive your invoice, or you will also have the option to enter information for another card after the auction through your MyInvaluable account.

Auction houses offering online payment will be noted with credit card icons.

Yes, if an auction house offers payment through Invaluable, you can pay for your items using our app for iPhone and iPad.

Unfortunately online payments are not accepted through Invaluable’s mobile site (m.invaluable.com) at this time, though it does indicate which houses offer the online payment option. Please navigate to the full desktop site, or download the Invaluable app for iPad or iPhone, in order to pay for your item.

For participating auction houses, you can now pay for your items with any major credit or debit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover), in addition to previously available payment forms. As noted, accepted credit cards and other methods of payment vary by auction house, so please check the "Payment" tab for details under the item you are interested in.

With online payment, you will be able to pay for your items as soon as you receive an invoice from the auctioneer. If you do not pay within four days of receiving your invoice, the auction house has the option to automatically charge the credit card you have on file for your won items.

There are certain restrictions on which items can be purchased using online payments. Certain types of items, including firearms, ammunition, alcohol, tobacco products, e-cigarettes, cars, boats, real estate and airplanes cannot be purchased using online payment. If you are purchasing one of these items, please check the “Payment” tab in lot details for other acceptable forms of payment. You will be notified in your invoice if an item is not eligible for online payment, and you will be asked to contact the auction house directly.

This varies by auction house. Please check the “Shipping” tab on the lot details page for information on shipping your won items. If you are using a third-party shipping vendor, you will receive a separate invoice for shipping and handling.

Each auction house has a particular process to arrange shipment of items. There are many factors taken into consideration to determine the proper shipping method, including weight, value, type of lot and distance it must travel. It is best to review the terms and conditions for the particular Auction House you’re working with before placing a bid, and to contact that house directly.
