There are three ways to bid at Poly Auction Hong Kong:
To bid in person, you will need to complete a buyer’s registration with our Customer Service team. This process includes filling in a registration form, providing a government-issued proof of identity, and placing an auction deposit. When the registration is completed, you can collect your paddle with a valid ID document before the auction begins.
If you cannot attend our auction in person, telephone bidding will provide you with a useful alternative. You will need to register to telephone bid with us, and a representative of Poly Auction Hong Kong will call you during the auction and bid on your behalf according to your request. To ensure the quality of our service, your conversation with our representatives will be recorded. Your understanding will be much appreciated.
To bid by telephone, simply check the “Telephone Bids” box while filling out the Absentee Bid Registration Form, and submit the form to our Customer Service at least three days before the auction date. Please clearly indicate a telephone number through which our representatives can reach you during the auction.
You can also submit a Written Bid and allow the auctioneer to execute it on your behalf. You will only need to let us know the highest price you are willing to accept. Your written bid will be roughly adjusted to match the bidding increment of the auctioneer. If more than one written bid indicates the same bidding price and the lot is eventually sold at that price, the written bid received earlier by our Customer Service will become the successful bid.
To place a written bid, simply check the “Written Bids” box while filling out the Absentee Bid Registration Form, and submit the form to our Customer Service at least three days before the auction date. Please clearly indicate the highest hammer price at which you are willing to bid (not including the buyer’s premium).
No matter which bidding method you choose, we will need you to follow through a four-step buyer’s registration process before bidding:
