How a Flinq auction works

Timed online auctions with public bidding and valuer-documented lots.

  1. 1

    Register once

    Create an account, verify your email and add a billing address. Bidding is free.

  2. 2

    Review the documentation

    Read the description, study every photo and watch the digital viewing video. Lots are sold on that documentation.

  3. 3

    Place a maximum bid

    We bid on your behalf in set increments up to your maximum, and email you if you are outbid. Your maximum stays hidden.

  4. 4

    Three-minute extension

    Any bid in the final three minutes extends the close, so the lot ends only when bidding stops.

  5. 5

    Pay the invoice

    Your invoice is issued when the auction closes and is payable within three working days.

  6. 6

    Collect

    We arrange a collection slot with the seller through Flinq. Most lots must be removed within ten working days.
