Finding a lot is half the job. The other half is not losing track of it, across eight platforms, a dozen sales, and the three weeks between spotting something and the hammer falling.
Most buyers track lots with a chaos of open tabs, platform watchlists that don't talk to each other, and screenshots sent to themselves. Each auction platform has its own "saved items", but your hunt spans platforms, so your shortlist is scattered exactly the way the market is.
Auction Bid Assistant gives you a single place to save lots from the-saleroom, EasyLive, eBay, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Bidspotter. Save from search results with one click, or, with the free extension, straight from lot pages while you browse any of the auction sites. Every saved lot keeps its image, description, estimate and a direct link back to bid.
When the shortlist is ready, export it as a printable PDF grouped by platform and auction house, the piece of paper you actually want in your hand at a viewing or in the saleroom. Prefer a spreadsheet? The same list exports as CSV with descriptions, estimates and links, ready for your own records or buying spreadsheets.
Featured Auction catalogues show live countdown timers on every sale, so your tracked lots come with a clock. And when a sale goes live, the extension's optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator in real time, your bid ladder, with buyer's premium and VAT built in, updates as the bidding moves. You always know your true total cost and your walk-away number.
Yes, saving, tracking and PDF/CSV export are free, on the website and in the extension. No account needed.
Yes, the website search works fully on mobile, including saving lots and exporting your list. The extension adds desktop-only extras like saving while browsing the auction sites themselves.
All eight: the-saleroom, EasyLive, eBay, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Bidspotter, plus Featured Auction catalogues.
Saved lots show sale dates and countdowns where available. Email alerts for new matching lots are on the roadmap.
