Direct Auctions is a marketplace. Independent auctioneers list auctions, set terms of sale, approve bidders, and invoice after the gavel. By creating an account you agree to these marketplace rules and to the terms posted on each auction you bid in.
You must give a working email and confirm it before you leave a max bid. One person, one account. Do not share logins. We may suspend or close an account that abuses the book, harasses an auctioneer, or tries to register a banned email.
Listings are provided by the auctioneer. Items are sold as-is unless that auction says otherwise. Descriptions, photos, estimates, and current bids are there so you can preview — they are not a warranty from Direct Auctions. If an auction is a draft, taken down, or an item is hidden, it is not offered on the public marketplace.
A max bid is an offer to the auctioneer up to the number you enter. The book advances by the increment table below. You can withdraw a max while absentee is still open and the item is still in preview. Live bidding from this site is coming and is not part of this agreement yet. A Live now badge means the sale day has started; it does not open live bidding here.
| Current bid | Increment |
|---|---|
| Under $100 | $10 |
| $100 to $499 | $25 |
| $500 to $999 | $50 |
| $1,000 to $4,999 | $100 |
| $5,000 to $9,999 | $250 |
| $10,000 and up | $500 |
Direct Auctions does not collect hammer price, buyer's premium, tax, deposits, or shipping. Those are between you and the auctioneer named on the auction. Do not enter payment cards here.
A seller account must be verified before an auction can be published, unless company admin publishes it. You are responsible for items, photos, terms, bidder approvals, and invoicing. Company admin may take down an auction or item that violates this agreement.
