Absentee / Online Bidding

If you can’t physically be at a Barrett-Jackson auction or have to leave the auction early, you can easily become an absentee bidder – a form of bidding that has grown tremendously in popularity in recent years. All you’ll need to do is complete an absentee bidder registration form, submit the same information required for on-site bidding and pay your bidder registration fee. It makes things run more smoothly if you get your information to Barrett-Jackson before the start of the auction on the day you want to place an absentee bid. There are a number of absentee bidding options available:

Online Bidding

Bid early or in real time!

Bid on vehicles or automobilia from the convenience of your home or mobile device simply by following our online bidder registration process. As an online bidder you will be able to place pre-bids (bid on items before they appear on the auction block), bid on one or multiple Lots in real time as they appear on the auction block or add items to your watchlist. Online bidding also allows you to follow the auction through our interactive live stream.

Telephone Bidding (On-site Auctions ONLY)

Can’t make it to the event and wish to bid by telephone?

Telephone bidding allows you to communicate directly with one of our professional auctioneers, who will convey your bids to the lead auctioneer. Complete our absentee bidder agreement and indicate which Lot(s) you are interested in, and we will call you just prior to the item appearing on the block.

Proxy Bidding (On-site Auctions ONLY)

Not available to bid online or by phone?

Bidding by proxy will allow a representative to bid for you. Simply complete our absentee bidder agreement and indicate your maximum bid amount on a specific vehicle. Our representative will execute the bid for you until the vehicle sells or your maximum bid amount is reached.
