Auctions by Simnitt Bros., Inc. uses two different online bidding systems based on the needs of our selling clients.

Our "Maxanet" service is a pre-bid only service. See below for instructions on how to use this service.

We use Proxibid.com for our auctions that feature LIVE online bidding which allows for online bidders to bid live online on auction day during the live auction. You can also leave pre-bids on this service.

To bid online via Proxibid, you must first create an account with Proxibid. Look for the login link in the very top right corner of the page. Once you have a Proxibid account, you can bid from the auction page on Proxibid.com.

How To Bid Online (Maxanet)

1) Register

Click on Register to Bid and follow the directions.

We will send you an e-mail confirming your registration.

With this number you will be able to bid online on any of our auctions listed with online for bidding.

If you come to a Live Auction you will need to register at the Live Auction again the number will be different (Remember what you have bid online and don't bid against yourself).

Click "Return". You will be back at our auction calendar page. Choose an auction and click the "Bid Online" icon and begin bidding!

Our online bidding system allows you to leave absentee bids prior to the auction. If you are a the high bidder on an item or items when the online bidding closes prior to the live auction, a member of the auction staff will represent you at the live auction. The bids are hidden and we bid against the live auction participants for the absentee bidder up to the maximum bid amount entered.

Note: If an auction is an "online bidding only" auction, then the high online bidder is the winning bidder assuming the reserve price (when applicable) has been met.

Bidding on the internet is just like bidding at a live auction. By bidding, you are entering into a contract to purchase the item bid upon. Be sure to read each auctions terms and conditions carefully!

3.) After the Auction

If your absentee bid is the winning high bid, you will recieve an invoice via email.

Terms for pickup or delivery vary from auction to auction, so be sure to read the auction terms for each auction.
