What is an absentee bid?

An absentee bid, or sealed bid, is used when you choose not to bid live. You tell us a maximum figure you would like to bid, and we execute bids on your behalf up to that number and no higher. You do not have to reach your maximum amount to win an item. The easiest way to browse and submit absentee bids is via the RIAC web page at www.RockIslandAuction.com.
