CONFIRMATION

The artnet SmartBid Service will automatically bid on your behalf up to US$.

artnet SmartBid will immediately meet the reserve price if your maximum bid is over the reserve. If the lot does not have a reserve price, it will immediately bid to the next increment level.

artnet SmartBid will then raise your bid up to your maximum bid by increment. But it will never raise your bid above the reserve price unless other bidders placed competitive bids on the lot.

How does bidding work?

The artnet SmartBid service automatically bids on your behalf, up to your maximum bid. There are several cases:

• If your max bid is higher than reserve price, artnet SmartBid will immediately meet the reserve price, and then bid by increment if there are competitive bids, up to your maximum bid
  
  
• If your max bid is lower than reserve price, artnet SmartBid will immediately meet your max bid. You will however have to increase your bid to win the lot
  
  
• If there is no reserve price, artnet SmartBid will bid by increment if there are competitive bids, up to your maximum bid
  
  

Length of the auction: If a bid is placed in the last 10 minutes of an auction, the close of the auction will be postponed by 10 additional minutes. The closing time can be postponed several times if there are additional bids, until there is a one-minute period with no bid.

The credit card on file will expire within the next 5 days.

You cannot place a bid until you update your billing information.
