SILENT AUCTION BIDDING

WHAT IS A TIMED AUCTION?

A timed auction is automated and takes place solely online. The bidding for each lot is opened at a predetermined level at a set time and stays open over an extended period. A bidder’s identity is always kept confidential during the auction. In this timed auction, bidding will begin at NOON on Monday, March 17, and sales will close at 10:30 PM on Saturday, March 29, which represents the end of the auction. 

“BUY NOW!” FEATURE

We are happy to continue to offer a “BUY NOW!” feature for this year’s Auction! A “Buy Now” option will be available for all Silent Auction lots during the timed online Silent Auction on Bidsquare, beginning on Monday, March 17 at 12:00 PM via massartauction.org/bid. The “Buy Now” option will be removed Friday, March 28 at 12:00 PM. During this time, any Silent Auction lot may be purchased outright by paying 150% of its stated value. Artwork may be purchased by clicking “Buy Now” on a selected lot on Bidsquare and remitting payment of the issued invoice immediately.  If payment is not received by Friday, March 28 at 12:00 PM, the buyer will lose the claim of the artwork, and it will become available for bidding for the remainder of the Silent Auction.
