There are many ways to bid at our auctions, but live in the showroom is one of the most exciting ways to bid! Your first step is to register to bid by filling out our Bidder Registration Form, found at our customer service desk or electronically below on our website. After your registration is processed, our staff will provide you with a bidder number paddle. This paddle allows you to bid at the auction for which you are registered. You must register for each auction in which you would like to bid.

You can bid online directly with Oakridge under our Auctions tab, or use third-party bidding platforms LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Please note that third-party platforms charge an additional buyer's premium. All auctions may not be available on all services so please check the auction listing on our website to determine which online bidding services are available for a particular auction. Once you register with the online bidding service of your choice, we will contact you to complete your registration. To expedite this process, you may fill out the Bidder Registration Form below. Once the registration process is complete, and your payment history has been reviewed and found satisfactory, our staff will then authorize you to bid online at the auction for which you have registered. You must register for each auction in which you would like to bid.

If you do not wish to bid in the room or online, you may still participate live as a telephone bidder. To bid on the phones, you must register prior to the day of the auction by filling out our Bidder Registration Form, found at our customer service desk or on our website below. After your registration is processed, our staff will provide you with a bidder number paddle. During the auction, one of our Telephone Bidding Clerks will call the telephone number that you have given us on your registration form approximately five lots before your indicated lots are sold. Our Telephone Bidding Clerk will bid on your behalf, as you instruct them on the telephone, using your bidder number paddle. You must register for each auction in which you would like to bid.

If you cannot be present at an auction to bid in person, and do not wish to bid Online, or as a Telephone Bidder, you may still participate at the auction as an absentee bidder. To leave an absentee bid, you must register prior to the day of the auction by filling out our Bidder Registration Form, found at our customer service desk or on our website below. After your registration is processed, our staff will provide you with a bidder number paddle. This paddle will allow a proxy bidder from our staff to bid on your behalf up to the maximum bid that you indicated on your registration form at the auction for which you are registered. You must register for each auction in which you would like to bid.
