Live Auctions

Bidding online via our live bidding software is just like bidding on the auction floor...

CTHS National publishes information about upcoming auctions and auction catalogues. At the time of the actual auction, online bidders and floor bidders are able to participate in live bidding concurrently through the use of the CTHS National live bidding software.

Post-Auction

After the auction has completed, bidders will be contacted either by phone or email informing them of the lots that they have won. Please allow ample time for the final bids to be processed, reconciled, and confirmed before you inquire about your won lots. Winners of lots will be sent information and an invoice with pertinent details and payment options.
