2 min. readlast update: 08.28.2025

What is the Watchlist?

Your Watchlist is a personalized tool that helps you keep track of lots you're interested in across all of our auctions — without needing to place a bid right away. Whether you're still comparing prices or planning your bidding strategy, the Watchlist gives you a quick and organized view of every lot you've either bid on or chosen to "watch." It's a great way to monitor multiple items, spot better deals, and avoid missing out.

🔍 How to Add Items to Your Watchlist

When viewing a lot tile, look for the small eyeball icon in the bottom right corner. On the lot details page, the same icon appears next to the bid entry field.

  • Blue eyeball = not being watched
       

  • Green eyeball = you're watching this lot
       

Click the eyeball to add a lot to your Watchlist. Click it again to remove it.


👀 What Does the Watchlist Do?

Your Watchlist collects every lot you’ve bid on or are watching — across all auctions, whether you Registered for the Auction or not — into one convenient place. Here’s what you’ll see at a glance:

  • Green Banner: You’re currently winning the lot

  • Red Banner: You’ve been outbid

  • 👁️ No Banner: You’re watching, but haven’t placed a bid yet


💡 Why Use the Watchlist?

  • Compare pricing across auctions
    Watching similar items in multiple auctions? Use the Watchlist to track bids and find the best deal.

  • Save time on Auction Day
    Quickly jump to your Watchlist to monitor lots you care about, rather than scrolling the entire catalog.

  • Stay informed
    Visual banners show your bid status in real-time.


🧠 Pro Tip:

Your Watchlist is the smartest way to shop our auctions. Use it to plan, compare, and maximize your savings.
