Why do I need to create a new bidder account?
Starting in 2026, auctions moved to a new bidding platform (http://bid.sydenhamauction.com/). Previous usernames and passwords were not transferred for privacy and security reasons, so all bidders must create a new account.

If you are the successful bidder, you will receive confirmation and instructions for payment and pickup via email. You can also view your invoices when logged in to your online account.
What are the benefits of selling items through an online auction?
Online auctions expose your items to a wide audience of buyers and provide professional cataloging, photography, and marketing to help maximize value.
How do I find out about upcoming auctions?
