How to bid in a Russell Kaplan auction
Pre-bids can be placed online in advance of the sale, and then the bidding is hosted live over several days. Registration to bid in the auction is open online at rkauctioneers.co.za where you can browse all the items going on sale.
Online pre-bids and live bids are treated equally, so rest assured if nobody bids over your pre-bid during the live session the lot is yours. After submitting a successful bid you'll then receive your auction invoice by email so you can arrange payments and collection.
You can request further images of any items you might be interested in and consult directly with the Russell Kaplan team by emailing rka@global.co.za or send a WhatsApp to +27 83 675 8468.
