This auction runs in two stages: pre-bidding, then a live "Helmsman" auction. Here's how it works:

Stage 1: Pre-bidding

Pre-bidding opens before the live auction starts. Place your bids early — your pre-bid becomes your opening position, so the lot starts with your bid already on the table when the live auction begins.

• You can place bids using the next suggested increment.
• You can bid on as many lots as you like during this window.
• Pre-bidding closes when the live auction starts.

Stage 2: Live Helmsman Auction

When the live auction begins, each lot runs on its own countdown clock. It's fast-paced and competitive:

• Each lot has a countdown timer — when you place a bid, the clock extends, giving others a chance to respond.
• The lot closes when the clock runs out with no new bids.
• The highest bidder at the close wins the lot.
• Winning bidders will be notified with payment details.

A. Bids can be made in one of three ways:

• Next Suggested Increment: Click the "Bid" button, then "Confirm" to bid at the next increment.
• Higher Amount: Enter an amount higher than the current increment in the text box, click "Bid", and then "Confirm".
• Auto Bidding: Set a maximum amount you are willing to spend. The system will automatically bid on your behalf up to this amount. If the bidding exceeds your set amount, you will need to place another auto-bid to continue.

A. Payment for auction lots is due in full within 15 days after the auction date. Please ensure you are familiar with the Terms & Conditions you agree to when registering for the auction.

If the winning bidder does not pay within this time, the lot will be offered to the second-highest bidder.

After the auction closes, we will contact you to arrange payment, contracts, and shipping. Once agreed upon, payment can be made via bank or wire transfer. Other options are available and can be discussed as needed.

For destinations not served by our certified coffee importers, full payment is required before the coffee leaves the country of origin.
