Stop searching auction sites one by one. Auction Bid Assistant searches multiple auction platforms at once — eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld, NumisBids and more being added — and shows every matching lot in one place. Built by Auctioneersvault Ltd, who have designed catalogues and software for auction houses for over 15 years. Type one search and see results from every platform side by side, with images, estimates and sale countdowns. Save lots into a single shortlist and export it as a PDF or CSV. Browse full Featured Auction e-catalogues from selected auction houses. Save a search once and get a free daily alert the moment a new matching lot appears, across every covered platform. Use Past Sale Search to see what similar lots have actually sold for before you bid. Free, no account needed, never places a bid on your behalf.
