All items included in the auction are photographed and complete condition descriptions are prepared as part of the online catalog. Typically, each auction is posted online somewhere between 10 and 21 days before the actual day of the sale. The bidding on each lot is done by a registered bidder entering an opening bid and subsequent bidders entering increasingly higher bids until the final and highest bid is made. Bidding works just like a traditional auction except you are bidding from your computer rather than live at the auction house. During the auction you can place bids on items of interest and see photos and descriptions of each lot up for bid, the current high bid, and the required next bid. After the auction ends the winning bidder is contacted via email with instructions for making payment. After payment has been received Just Art Pottery will safely and cost effectively ship your art pottery purchase to you.
