How To Bid
Early registration is important. Registering a few days in advance of the May 10 auction openings will ensure you will be approved in time to bid. If you are already signed up with Bidsquare, you may skip to Step 2 below.
Step 1: Join Bidsquare
1. Visit bid.crockerart.org.
2. Click “Sign Up” in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
3. Enter your email and a password.
4. Provide credit card and billing information. This is required to be approved for bidding. Your card will not be charged, and if you are a winning bidder, you will have the opportunity to change your preferred payment method upon checkout.
5. Check your email! Click the link sent to you to verify your email address.
6. Remember your Bidsquare login and password; you will need it later.
Step 2: Register for the Auctions
