Thought about dipping your toe into the art world? There has never been a better time to dive in and immerse yourself. This sale will encourage both cautious first-time buyers and those seasoned bidders to ‘click and win’ in this tempting online-only offering. Most of the famous Irish artists are represented in this sale with affordable works. This is a Timed On-line Auction. Timed auctions don’t have an auctioneer calling the bids – there’s just a bidding time frame and whoever bids highest during the time frame wins. Each lot can be bid on for a defined time period. At the end of this period, the bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot, provided the bid exceeds the reserve price. You tell us the most you’re willing to pay – and we’ll bid intelligently for you, only bidding enough for you to meet the reserve or stay in the lead. Don’t worry, your maximum bid is not disclosed, and is held in confidence on our bidding system. If someone bids higher than your ‘maximum’, we will send you an 'outbid alert' via email to let you know, so you can decide whether to bid more. You'll know it's a timed auction as the end time will be displayed on the lot page. If a bid is placed in the last 5 minutes of the defined time period, the time period will be extended by 5 minutes.
