Step 2
Start Bidding!
See something you like? Enter your max bid and we'll automatically bid for you, only when needed, up to your limit. We'll email if you've been outbid so you can take action. End times are automatically extended to stop last-second bids from bots, so only genuine spirits lovers win.
Step 3
Win! (...or Lose)
If you're the highest bidder when the auction ends and any reserve has been met, then you've won! We'll email instructions for payment and delivery. We'll also email if you've been outbid or the reserve on an item hasn't been met, With our rolling auctions you can then bid on other items straight away.
Step 4
Delivery or Storage
During checkout you can choose home delivery, collection from a shop, free collection from our Auction House, or free storage, allowing you to bundle items together for future delivery.
Step 5
Pay for Your Items
Pay by credit/debit card, bank transfer, or your Virtual Wallet. Buyer's commission is applied to the hammer price, UK residents are required to pay VAT on commission and delivery, but not on the hammer price.

Step 6
