Bid-Board FAQ

What is the Bid-Board?

The Bid-Board is a unique auction platform inspired by the old-school coin shop bid boards. We put up select items for bidding, allowing participants 2 to 3 weeks to view, research, and place their bids.

How do reserves work?

Some items on the Bid-Board have a reserve price. If the reserve is not met when the auction ends, the highest bidder will receive an offer to purchase the item at the reserve price. If they decline, the auction will end without a winner.

How does bidding work?

When placing a bid, you can set the maximum amount you’re willing to pay for an item. If your maximum bid is higher than the current highest bid, the system will automatically place your bid at the next bid step above the current highest bid. For example, if the highest bid is $20 and you bid $30, your bid will be placed at $21. If someone else bids $25, your bid will automatically increase to $26, and so on, until your maximum bid is reached.

How will I know if I've won an auction?

Winners will receive an email notification at the close of the auction. You will then have 2 days to add your auction win to your cart and complete the purchase.

Can I buy other items along with my auction win?

Yes! You are welcome to purchase other items from our store when you check out your auction win. Shipping is a flat rate of $5.99 per order.

What happens if I don't pay for my auction win?

If you don't complete the purchase within 2 days, the second-highest bidder may receive an offer to buy the item at their highest posted bid. However, this is not guaranteed.

Is there anything else I should know?

It's important to carefully review each item before bidding. All bids are final, and there are no returns on auction items. Ensure you're confident in your bid before placing it!
