Step 1: Register to Bid

• Online: Log in at rbauction.com.au, register for the auction in advance, and receive your bidder number digitally.

Step 2: How to Bid – Live or Online

• Online: Click the “Bid Now” button to place your bid in real time. Online bids are tracked and relayed to the auctioneer live.

Step 3: Choice & Linked Items

• When similar items are grouped together, the highest bidder gets to choose which units they want at the winning price—one, multiple, or all.

Step 5: Winning and Equipment Pickup
