To place bids on behalf of the auction room (the floor) during a webcast auction, your user account must have Reserve Bidder privileges.

⚠️ Please Note:

  • If your user does not have Reserve Bidder privileges, floor bids will appear under your own username instead.

  • To request Reserve Bidder access, please contact: [email protected] or your account admin.


Placing Floor Bids

  1. Click the Bid button to place a bid for the floor

    • The amount will follow the automatic increments set at Auctioneer level

    • The bid should appear as from Floor Bidder


Convert to Floor Bid Button

  1. Click Convert to Floor Bid to convert or overrule an internet bid with a bid from the floor

2. Or click on the On Site button next to the current internet bid:

The console will then show the internet bid as canceled, and the new floor bid as valid instead:

⚠️ Important:

  • When an internet bid is overruled by a floor bid, the user will see a pop-up on the top right of their screen confirming this.

  • The system will then populate the next increment so the online user can choose to outbid the floor.


Using the Bids Column

  • Double-click on any amount listed in the Bids column

  • This will place a floor bid for the selected amount
