Auction: The Christmas Collection, an Online Time Auction, ending 7th Jan, 2025
The first Online Only sale of Azca Auctions has landed.
We will accompany you through the Christmas holidays with some extravagant, quirky, and sparkly lots. The auction is entirely online, and bidding begins on the 11th December and closes on the 7th January 2025.
Collections are taking place from 188 R Hammersmith road, W6 7DJ once the sale closes.
How to Bid
Once bidding opens, set your maximum bid for each item you’re interested in, and the system will automatically place incremental bids on your behalf, up to your set limit.
If a bid is received within the last 3 minutes of a lot's scheduled closing time, the lot will extend for an additional 3 minutes. This extension will continue with each subsequent bid until no further bids are placed, at which point the lot will close and the highest bidder will be declared.
Please note that all lots will close according to their scheduled times, regardless of extensions. For example, lot two will begin and close as scheduled even if lot one is still in an extended bidding period.
This concurrent format maximises bidding opportunities during peak windows, helping to achieve the best possible hammer price for our vendors. Make sure to place your bids in good time!
Have a merry bidding!
