Pickles Live is a powerful online auction service that lets anyone join a physical auction in real time over the internet.

If you are unable to attend an auction in person, our innovative online bidding system Pickles Live allows you to participate online in our live physical auctions from the comfort of your home or office anywhere in Australia. Hear the auctioneer’s voice, see images of the vehicles and participate in all the bidding action with a click of a button.

Max-bid is a feature that allows you to set a predetermined maximum bid for an asset before the auction starts. This way you can stay in the game without waiting for the lot you are interested in to appear. This feature allows Pickles Live to bid on your behalf in small increments up to your maximum bid. The Pickles Live bidding systems will always attempt to have the buyer win the auction at the lowest price possible.

For example, if you’re interested in a car and decide the maximum amount you would spend on this car is $20,000, you can set a max-bid before the auction starts. So once that car has been lotted a few days before the auction, you can set your maximum bid to $20k. When the auctioneer reaches this lot during the live auction, the system will bid up to your set amount on your behalf. You will be notified that bidding has started and if you get outbid. The feature will never bid above the figure you set as your max-bid limit for that item.

For more details about max bid, learn more here.

To bid via Pickles Live, your computer must meet the following system requirements.

At each auction, a deposit percentage or amount is set. The deposit amount is dependent on the type of auction - please contact us for more information.

Make sure that you are aware of the amount of money you will need before bidding at an auction. The deposit secures the item that you have successfully bid on. Deposit via credit card is the only option on Pickles Live.

When a credit or debit card is added to a MyPickles account the card details are validated by the bank charging the card with a $1 pre-authorisation. This amount never progresses into an actual charge on the cardholders' account - it will disappear within 5-7 days. Any time the credit card details are changed or updated on the MyPickles account this pre-authorisation will occur again.

If the incident occurs in the first 20 minutes of the auction and the problem has not been resolved, the auction will be delayed for a further 10 minutes. Pickles will announce for participants to fax or email the lots they are interested in bidding on. We will then contact you via phone so you can still bid live on the lots.

If the issues have not been resolved the auction will recommence without Pickles Live. Pickles Live will recommence as or when the problem has been resolved.

Throughout this process the Auction Clerk/Auctioneer will continue to inform you of developments. If you have further enquiries, please contact our Service Desk on 1800 005 336 or email support@pickles.com.au.

The Pickles Live application works on all recent versions of modern browsers. If you are using an old browser version or are using a mobile device, you may prefer to use the Pickles Live mobile app.

The Pickles Live App can be dowloaded from the Apple Store or GooglePlay.
