How can I bid via phone?

When you request a phone bid, you will be called during the live auction by a RIAC representative who will bid per your instructions.

The easiest way to request a phone bid is via our website. Sign into your web account, navigate to the auction, find a lot you are interested in bidding via phone, and click the “Phone Bid” button. You will then see a confirmation message and have the option to indicate a Cover Me bid.

In the event you cannot be reached, your Cover Me bid allows your phone bidder to safely bid for you up to your specified amount.

You may also contact our Customer Support team for assistance requesting a phone bid.
