Bidding with Shapiro Auctions has never been easier or more convenient. We offer a variety of traditional and online bidding methods that make registering for auction easy, secure, and convenient. Please don’t hesitate to reach out via email or call us if you have any further questions—our specialists are standing by to help you find a bidding method that suits your needs.
Absentee bidding allows you to participate in the auction, even if you are unavailable on the day of sale, by allowing you to place a maximum bid amount on individual lots. During the sale, Shapiro Auctions will bid as a proxy on your behalf as long as there is a competing bid up to the amount specified on your form.
You can fill out out an absentee bid online through our website. When you’re viewing a lot, simply click the “Bid” button near the lot description and choose “Absentee Bid.” From there, fill out your maximum bid amount and contact information, and we will send you a confirmation of your bid! You can add lots while you browse the sale, and even choose which lots you would prefer to bid by absentee or by phone. You can review your bid form in the “My Lots” page anytime before submitting the form. By submitting the bid form through our website, you agree to our Terms and Conditions of Sale. Alternatively, you can also download a printable PDF version of our standard bid form and fax or email it to us.
Registration is free and open to the public, and can be done prior to, or on the day of the auction. Photo identification (e.g. passport/driver’s license) is required, and we reserve the right to require additional information or financial references before approval. Auctions take place at our location at 566 East Boston Post Rd. in Mamaroneck, New York.
