Live Bidding
On the day of sale, please join us at our auction house located at 1304 Ashby Road, Olivette, Missouri, 63132.
Registration requires a credit card and driver's license to obtain a bidding paddle and number. All numbers and paddles are non-transferable. Woodard Lipe reserves the right to resolve all bidder discrepancies and will make final determinations as to all questions relating to transfer or indemnity of personal property.
To insure successful bidding, please ensure that your paddle can be seen by the auctioneer and that your number is called. Should there be any doubt as to price or buyer, please notify the auctioneer immediately. Once the hammer has lowered, all sales values and bidder number attributions are final.
All sold lots will be invoiced to the name, address, and designated payment information to which the paddle has been registered and cannot be transferred to other names and addresses.
Absentee Bidding
Within 24 hours prior to the auction, you may contact us in order to submit an absentee bid on any item(s) via telephone or through our email at info@woodardlipe.com. If the advanced bid is below the reserve, Woodard Lipe reserves right to place bids against the advance bid in response to the seller reserve. All advance bids are executed at the lowest price possible and will not exceed the original amount.
Phone Bidding
You may also bid via telephone when the auction is live. A member of our team will call you during the auction so that you have real time information and access to the bidding process, thereby allowing you to bid live with us over the phone. Please notify us at least 48 hours prior to the start of the auction if you wish to bid by telephone.
Online Bidding
You may bid from your computer or mobile device through our website or the additional third party mobile auction platform.
