Weekly auctions
Each card is listed as its own auction. Auctions close every Friday at 8:00 pm Adelaide time (lots may be staggered a minute apart so you can follow each one). The countdown on every card shows days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining. The closing time is set and enforced by our server, not your device.
Bidding
- You must be signed in, have a verified email and have a saved payment method to bid.
- Each auction shows the current highest bid, the number of bids, the full bid history and the minimum next bid.
- A bid is a binding commitment to buy if you win.
- Bid history shows masked bidder names, amounts and times so the bidding is transparent.
Bid increments
The minimum next bid is the current bid plus an increment based on the price:
- A$0–A$20: A$1 increments
- A$20–A$100: A$2 increments
- A$100–A$500: A$5 increments
- A$500+: A$10 increments
Anti-sniping protection
If a bid is placed in the final 2 minutes, the auction is extended by another 2 minutes. This keeps repeating while bids keep arriving, so every bidder gets a fair chance to respond. You'll see a notice on the auction when it has been extended.
Reserve prices
Some cards have a hidden reserve, the minimum price the seller will accept. The auction shows whether the reserve has been met, but never the reserve amount. If the reserve isn't met when the auction closes, the card goes unsold and nobody is charged.
Winning & payment
When an auction closes with the reserve met, the highest valid bidder wins. Their saved payment method is charged automatically for the winning bid plus shipping, which you agreed to when you saved your card. Some banks ask for an extra security check; if so, we'll email you a secure link to complete it.
Currency
Prices can be displayed in AUD, USD, NZD, GBP, EUR or CAD. Each auction runs and charges in one currency (usually AUD), shown clearly before you bid. Converted prices are estimates only; your bank converts the final charge.
Shipping
Shipping is calculated from your address and shown before you pay. Graded slabs and multi-card orders have their own rates. Every order ships with tracking. See the shipping policy.
