Browsing and Bidding
You will need to create an account on BiddingOwl if you wish to browse the auction or place a bid. Bidding Owl will send you email updates about your bids.
To create an account: 1) Click Bidder Login, 2) Create an account. Enter your email address and set a password, 3) Check your email to verify your account (click the link in the email), 4) Navigate back to new.biddingowl.com/LiveFromMelrose to shop the auction, 5) When prompted, enter the access code for the auction.
BiddingOwl will automatically assign you an anonymous public-facing ID to bid with. The auction organizers will have your contact information to contact you if you win an item.
We recommend using Auto Bid to bid (not the Bid function). Auto Bid will bid for you up to your maximum bid starting at the lowest possible winning bid. Auto Bid is "Ebay-style" bidding.
The regular "Bid" function will bid whatever value you enter, regardless of what the current highest bid is. If you wish to do all of your own bidding, use the Bid function.
Some items have a Buy Now price.
BiddingOwl will only ask you to enter payment information if you win an item. For most items this will be at the close of the online auction on January 26th.
Send any questions or accommodation requests to us at auction@melroseuu.org.
The Online Auction closes on Sunday, January 26th at 9 pm.
