UX Search links to these auction sites and is not affiliated with them. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on each site, under its own rules.
Before you bid
- Count the buyer’s premium. Auction houses add a percentage to the hammer price, often 20% to 30% at major houses. Check each sale’s terms.
- Read the condition report. Ask for one if it isn’t posted. Photos don’t always show repairs, restoration or damage.
- Check authenticity. Look for grading, certificates or provenance, and know each house’s return policy for items found not genuine.
