Taking advantage of previews, whether in person or remotely, gives you a significant advantage:

In-Person
Previews
There’s nothing like seeing the items up close to appreciate their craftsmanship, condition, and value. We offer in-person previews during the three business days leading up to live bidding.
This dedicated preview time allows you to:
- Examine the fine details of each lot.
- Ask specific questions about the items that catch your eye.
- Strategize your bidding approach based on firsthand insights.
Pro Tip: To get the most out of your preview experience, schedule an appointment with our bidder support team. A scheduled session ensures personalized assistance, allowing you to preview items in a private, distraction-free setting tailored to your needs.
Remote
Previews
Can’t make it to our gallery? No problem. We’ve got you covered with our detailed remote preview support. Our bidder support team is ready to assist with additional images, item descriptions, and answers to your questions.
Here’s how you can streamline your remote preview experience:
- Be Clear and Specific: Include the lot numbers and details of the items you’re interested in.
- Consolidate Your Questions: Sending all your inquiries in a single email helps us provide a faster, more comprehensive response.
Remote previews allow you to gain clarity about the items and prepare for bidding from anywhere in the world.
Pro Tip: Submit all inquiries at least two business days before live bidding begins. This ensures our team has ample time to provide detailed responses and additional information before the auction starts!
