Register to bid at SAN and follow their instructions. About 80% of our bids are received by postal mail, email, fax, and phone. For bidders on the SAN website, that means you may not be seeing the current high bid on a lot, and you may want to submit your highest bid at once. If your bid tops the the next highest bid, you will be charged only one bid increment over that bid (see below).
| Bid Level | Increase | Bid Level | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10-$30 | $1.00 | $150-$290 | $10.00 |
| $32-$68 | $2.00 | $300-$475 | $25.00 |
| $70-$145 | $5.00 | $500-$950 | $50.00 |
| $1000 and up | $100.00 |
Lots will be sold at one advance over the second-highest bid according to this schedule. Bids not conforming to this schedule will be reduced to the next lowest level. Minimum bid on any lot is $10.00
A buyer's fee will be added to successful bids (see Terms & Conditions).
"OR" bids: where you want only one of a set of several lots, bid on all such lots, adding an "or" between lot numbers.
You may specify a limit to the TOTAL of your purchases.
