Your "Bidding Limit" is an amount you choose and it is the maximum amount of total purchases you can make in any single rbauctionBid-Live event. We ask you to set this Bidding Limit as a personal protection measure for yourself. By setting a Bidding Limit, you can protect yourself from purchasing more that you had intended.

You can increase or decrease your Bidding Limit for any auction. Visit the rbauctionBid-Live auction schedule page, click on the "Check a list of auctions for which you've already registered here" link, logon by entering your Express Bidder Number and PIN, then click the "Edit" link beside the auction of interest. Change your Bidding Limit and click "Submit". Your Bidding Limit for that auction is now changed. If you are logged in and watching the auction, the change may take up to 10 minutes to take effect.

Please note that if you submitted a deposit for the auction you will not be able to change your Bidding Limit once the auction is in progress.

During the auction, Ritchie Bros. may need to contact you regarding any purchases you have made. It's important that the contact telephone number you provide not be the same telephone line that you use to connect your computer to the Internet. If Ritchie Bros. is unable to contact you at the number you provided, Ritchie Bros. reserves the right to suspend your rbauctionBid-Live access until such time that you can be reached.
