What to watch out for

  • A much bigger pool of bidders. You’re bidding against the whole platform’s audience, not just a room, which can push prices past what a local sale would bring.
  • Higher buyer’s premiums. 15 to 20 percent or more is common online, on top of the bid itself.
  • Local pickup. A great deal three hours away isn’t a deal if pickup means a six-hour round trip.
  • Photos hide flaws. Read condition notes closely and email the auctioneer before you bid, not after you win.
