How to Bid:

Unlike Live Auctions, where all of the bidding takes place at a set time, Timed Online Auctions feature online “ebay-style” bidding.  Once registered to bid, you can leave a bid anytime from the auction’s start until the lot you are interested in closes.  The highest bidder when the lot closes will be the successful bidder.

Please follow these directions for online bidding through Invaluable.com. 

First, go to Invaluable.com. Look in the upper right-hand corner of the homepage and click on CREATE ACCOUNT. Establish an account by registering with a username and password. At the prompt, please provide contact and credit card information.  

To view our auction and place bids, follow the steps below: 

On the Invaluable toolbar click “Auctioneer Directory”, select “P” then page down, click on “Potomack Company” and select the auction (click August Online Auction) 

To bid, please click on “Get Approved to Bid” (Your request must be approved by the The Potomack Company, but you may begin bidding right away.)

Place your bid using numbers only (don’t use the $ sign) and follow prompts. If you are outbid, you will receive an email notification prompting you to bid again.

The lots will begin closing at 10am on Tuesday, October 21^st, with each lot closing staggered by one minute.  The bidding time will extend if a bid is placed within five minutes of a lot’s scheduled closing (lots within five minutes of closing are in red, extended lots are noted). Invoices will be processed after all lots have closed. Buyer’s premium will be 20.5% on all lots in a Design Online Auction due to Invaluable’s 3% bidding fee for timed online auctions.

NOTE: Please hit “Refresh” frequently to update the time remaining on each lot, particularly as lots are closing on Tuesday, October 21^st.  Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are recommended browsers for bidding.  Apple Safari and Internet Explorer are NOT supported browsers. We also recommend bidding on a computer, rather than a tablet or smartphone, if possible.
