How to Participate in Art on a Postcard Auctions: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you ready to bid on exclusive artwork and add a new piece to your collection? Our online auction process is simple and seamless. Follow these steps to ensure you have a smooth experience and boost your chances of winning your dream artwork.

Step 1: Register for the Auction

First things first—register for the auction by visiting the Current Auctions section of Our Auctions page and clicking the Explore Now button underneath the relevant auction. You’ll need an account with Indy to sign up. If you don't have one yet, don’t worry! Creating an account is quick and easy. Once registered, you'll be all set to join the bidding.

Step 2: Begin Bidding

Once the auction is live, it's time to place your bids. Instead of manually bidding for every increment, you can set your 'Maximum Bid,' and our system will do the rest. The platform will automatically bid on your behalf, incrementally, against other bidders. If someone outbids you, you’ll be notified, giving you the opportunity to raise your bid and stay in the game.

Step 3: Win Your Bid

The thrill of the auction peaks when the countdown timer reaches zero. The highest bidder at that moment wins the piece! If you are the lucky winner, you’ll receive an email notification from us confirming your success, along with instructions on how to proceed with the payment.

Step 4: Complete Your Payment

After winning your bid, further instructions for completing the payment will be provided by the AOAP team. Keep an eye on your inbox so you can swiftly finalize your payment and officially claim your piece.

Step 5: Pay for Shipping

Once your payment is completed, we’ll reach out to you with the next steps for arranging shipping. After covering the shipping cost, your artwork will be prepared for delivery, and soon, it will be on its way to you!

Tips for Success

To improve your chances of winning, we recommend placing your maximum bids well in advance. This allows the system to bid on your behalf, even when you’re away, and increases your likelihood of staying ahead of competing bidders.

By following these five steps, you'll be fully prepared to take part in our auction and secure your next prized artwork. Best of luck, and happy bidding!
