Absentee (Proxy) Bidding Procedure

A quick look at our Absentee Bid Policy & related services.

Fraser Auction employs a unique advance bidding system that utilizes third party assistance. For a $10.00 fee your Absentee Bid it is handled by an on-site buyer not affiliated with our company. The independent Contract bidder retains the full deposit (per item) regardless of purchase. Contract buyers manage your bid under a dollar-ceiling concept with 3 basic rules.

• 1) Absentee bids cannot open bidding, opening bids accepted in person only.
• 2) Contract buyers must adhere to the general progression of bidding at all times. No redoubled or excessive bidding within the set price.
• 3) Agents will conduct bidding like it is their own money being spent.

The name and number of your Contract bidder can be provided with your receipt for verification. All registered bids are final, the Contract bidder will not exceed the ceiling price under any circumstances. All bids are in Canadian dollars and subject to applicable tax in addition to the purchase price. US funds will be calculated to the exchange rate on day of sale.
