Remote Bidding

Remote Bidding Options

If at all possible, registered bidders should try to be present at the Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort on Auction Day, December 12, 2009.

However, Registered Bidders who cannot attend the auction in person may appoint someone to be their representative and/or participate as a Registered Remote Bidders by either telephone or via the Internet.

The first step is to pre-qualify with one of Starpointe’s preferred lenders and complete the Bidder Registration Form and send it by email, fax, mail or personal delivery to the Auction Information Office on or before December 10. 2009.  Remote Bidders must also sign the Remote Bidding Agreement and Escrow Instructions and submit this plus the $2,000 “Good Funds” to the Auction Office by 10 a.m. (MST) on December 10, 2009.  (Please refer to the Terms and Conditions – Remote Bidding for further details)

In order to be a Remote Bidder, personal computers must comply with the Minimum Supported Computer Configuration.  Most personal computers with 512 MB of RAM, Windows XP or later versions and an Internet connection will function well with Intellimarket™ auction software.  Should you have questions, an Intellimarket™ bidding assistant can help you determine if your computer meets the minimum supported configuration.  For additional information, please refer to the Technical Information for Remote Bidders file posted in the Library section of this website.

REMOTE TELEPHONE BIDDERS:

Telephone bidders will be provided with a website address so that they may watch the Auction live over the Internet.  (System testing to ensure compatibility must be completed prior to Auction Day.)  To facilitate the submission of bids, an Intellimarket™ bidding assistant will stay on the telephone with the Remote Bidder throughout the auction.

REMOTE INTERNET BIDDERS:

Remote Internet Bidders will be provided with an Internet Bidding Instruction Booklet and must complete, prior to Auction Day, a telephone training session with an Intellimarket™ Internet bidding coach.  There also will be an opportunity to participate in an Internet Bidding practice session scheduled for Friday, December 11, 2009 at 7:00 pm.  The practice auction will last approximately one hour.

Additional information and specific details are available in the Remote Bidder Documents of the Library section of this website.

If you are interested in becoming a Remote Bidder, please contact the Artesia Auction Manager as soon as possible to allow adequate time for system testing and bidder training.  No testing or training will occur after December 10, 2009.
