How to Bid

• Step 1: Register/Login

  If you have bid in previous auctions, you can use your pre-existing Saffronart or StoryLTD login ID. If you are new to StoryLTD/Saffronart, register for a new StoryLTD Login ID.

• Step 2: Verify Your Details to Get Approval

  After you have registered and when the auction catalogue is available online, verify your details and get approved to bid in the auction. This must be done before every auction, even if you already have a Saffronart or StoryLTD login ID. For the StoryLTD Times Art Fest Online Auction, verify your contact, billing and shipping addresses and accept our Terms & Conditions.

• Step 3: Get Confirmed for Bidding Access

  Get bidding access by verifying your credit card online. Your credit card will not be charged: it will be authorised through a small deposit which, once authorised, will be immediately invalidated. All charges will occur post auction.
  Select a per lot bidding value based on the lots that you would like to bid on. Should you wish to speak to someone and acquire approval over the phone, please call StoryLTD. Bidding access will be granted at the discretion of StoryLTD. This is done in order to avoid frivolous bidding and maintain the sanctity of the auction.

• Step 4: Begin Bidding

  Once bidding access has been granted, you can proceed to bid by clicking on the “Bid Now” button next to each lot in the online catalogue.

• Step 5: Payment and Shipping of Lots

  Successful bidders will be emailed invoices against their purchases, which will include the final bid price, the Buyer’s Premium and applicable shipping charges and taxes. Upon receiving the payment in full and on completion of the necessary formalities, the lots will be shipped to the winning bidder at the address mentioned on the invoice.
