The Auction Process

THE AUCTION PROCCESS

Please find all information regarding the auction process below.

The following steps are parts of the Terms and Conditions.

REGISTRATION

All bidders must register before placing bids with Rosé Online Auction.

To register online, bidders should select the Register link on the upper right corner of Rosé Auction’s website.
On our secure server, registrants will submit their contact information and will be asked to choose a Bidder ID. The Bidder ID will be visible to others browsing the site and should not identify the bidder by name or by any other symbol or abbreviation. The Auction Site will not tolerate Bidder ID-s that are offensive or insulting.
All registration information is kept strictly confidential and secure. (You can find our privacy policy here)

Bidders must register for each auction in which they wish to participate.

It is the bidder’s responsibility to keep his or her registration information and preferences up to date and correct. To make changes to an existing registration, click the Edit Profile link at the top of the Rosé Auction  website.
Please note: Rosé Ltd. reserves the right to refuse the registration of any bidder at any time.

BIDDING

To place a bid, the bidder should find the online catalog page for the relevant lot and click the Place a Bid button. By default, the amount of the bid will be the current bid plus the appropriate auction increment (see Bidding Increments). If no bids have been placed, the default amount is the opening bid. The bidder will be prompted for his or her Bidder ID and password. After clicking Submit Bid, the bidder will receive an email confirming the amount of his or her bid. If another bidder should bid higher than this amount, the first bidder will receive an outbid notice by email.

Proxy bids
A proxy bid is similar to a left bid in a traditional auction and allows bidders extra flexibility in the bidding process. By placing a proxy bid, a bidder sets a maximum amount that he or she is willing to spend and enables the auction software to execute bids as necessary on his or her behalf. The auction software will place an initial bid (one increment above the current bid) and then wait. If a challenging bid is placed by another bidder, the auction software will automatically execute a bid on behalf of the original proxy bid (again, one increment above the current bid). The auction software attempts to place as few bids as possible in order to keep the bid amount as low as possible. Under no circumstances will the auction software exceed the amount of a proxy bid. Furthermore, a proxy bid is strictly confidential and is encrypted securely in the auction software.
To place a proxy bid, the bidder should find the online catalog page for the relevant lot and select the Place Proxy Bid button. After selecting a proxy bid amount from the drop-down list, the bidder is asked to confirm his or her Bidder ID and password. The bidder will then receive an email confirming that a proxy bid has been placed. If the maximum amount of the proxy bid is ever exceeded, the bidder will receive an outbid notice by email. Please note: Proxy bids may not be adjusted after they have been placed.
