How Simon Charles Works

Simon Charles makes it easy to find auction stock fast, bid online, and move from winning to payment and collection without guesswork.

1. Create your free account

Register in a few minutes so you can watch lots, bid online, and move through checkout faster when you win.

2. Browse live auctions and categories

Start with the current auctions, trending lots, or the category pages to narrow down the type of stock you want.

3. Bid before the lot closes

Each lot shows the current asking price, auction timing, and whether collection or postage applies.

4. Pay and collect

Once you win, complete payment in your account and follow the collection or delivery instructions shown for that lot.

Best places to start

If you are completely new, start with live auctions first, then use category pages to narrow down the stock you care about. If you need extra detail on bidding, payment, or collection, the help centre is the next stop.
