Live Simulcast Auctions

A simulcast auction broadcasts a live, in-person auction event online in real-time. Remote bidders participate through a web interface while an auctioneer conducts the sale. Both on-site and online bidders compete for the same lots simultaneously.

How Simulcast Auctions Work

Simulcast auctions combine in-person and online bidding. An auctioneer conducts the sale at a physical location while streaming video and audio to online participants. Online bidders place bids through the auction platform interface. The auctioneer acknowledges bids from both floor bidders and online participants.

Online Participation in Real-Time

Remote bidders access the simulcast through a web browser on the auction platform. The interface displays the live video stream, current lot information, and bidding controls. Online bids are transmitted to the auctioneer in real-time. No special software installation is required.

How Simulcast Auctions Are Conducted

Simulcast auctions are conducted by licensed auctioneers following standard auction procedures. Events are scheduled in advance with published lot catalogs. Registration is required before the auction date. Equipment preview and inspection periods are typically available before the auction begins.
