How to Buy at Headley’s Auctions

Buying with us is simple. We currently conduct all our auctions Online Only through the HiBid platform. This ensures a fair and transparent bidding process for everyone.

Step 1: Registration

To place a bid, you must register through our auction partner, HiBid.

• Visit our current auction link on the website.
• Create an account or log in to your existing HiBid account.
• Register for the specific auction you are interested in to receive a bidder number.

Step 2: Understanding the Bidding Process

We use Absentee and Internet Bidding only.

• Absentee Bids: You can place your maximum bid at any time once the catalog is online. The system will automatically bid for you against other bidders up to your limit.
• Real-Time Bidding: You can also follow the auction as it closes and place bids in real-time to ensure you don’t miss out on an item.

Step 3: Item Descriptions & Previews

Every item in our catalog includes detailed descriptions and photographs. We encourage all bidders to review these carefully.

• In-Person Preview: If you wish to inspect an item personally, previews are available by appointment at our gallery in Winchester, VA. Please contact us at 540-662-6350 to schedule a visit.

Step 4: Winning & Payment

If you are the successful high bidder:

• You will receive an invoice via email shortly after the auction closes.
• Payment must be made according to the terms specified in the auction catalog.

Step 5: Pickup & Shipping

• Pickup: Winning items can be collected from our gallery during the designated pickup times.
• Shipping: While we do not ship items directly, we can provide a list of professional third-party shippers who can handle the packing and delivery of your purchases.
