Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offers unlimited, complimentary telephone bidding on all lots, at all live auctions. Telephone Bidding is a convenient solution if you are unable to attend an auction in person. A staff member will call you approximately three lots in advance and, with your instruction, bid on your behalf at the auction.
Please note: To avoid disappointment, you should try to lodge your telephone bid at least 24 hours prior to the auction.

3. Absentee
Absentee Bidding is another convenient solution if you are unable to attend an auction in person, to speak on the telephone or if you simply have a strict budget.
An Absentee Bid should be set at the maximum amount you wish to bid on the lot/s you are interested in purchasing. Should the lot/s be knocked down at an amount lower than the bid recorded on your form, the lot will be sold to you for the lesser hammer price.
Please note: Absentee Bids must be received at least 24 hours prior to the auction to allow time for processing.
