First Time Buyers
If you have not bought through a Ross's Online Auction before please read the following guide. Our Conditions of Sale may be accessed at any point and should be read in conjunction with this short guide.

What is a Online Auction?
An online auction is an automated online-only auction which takes place solely on our website, www.rosss.com. The sale will commence at a designated time and date and will run for a specified number of days. The sale will end with every lot finishing at 20 second intervals up until the sales completion. (Please note: Each individual lot displays a unique end time.)

Sale Procedure
To bid on a lot you must register a MY ROSS'S account and login. Once logged in you are ready to place bids online at anytime up until the noted end time of each lot. If your bid is accepted, you will be notified that you are the current highest bidder. If you are outbid you will be notified by email and have the option to bid again and if you win a lot you will receive an invoice by email after the auction's completion.

Maximum Bid
You may leave a maximum bid which will instruct the computer to bid on your behalf only as much as required for you to remain the highest bidder up until your limit. This means that you may win an item for less than your maximum bid, however you can also be outbid if someone enters a higher maximum bid. If you are outbid you will receive an outbid notification by email. Please note: Only you will know what your maximum bid is.

Bidding Increments
