Propstore regularly holds two different types of auctions: Live Auctions and timed Online Auctions.

Propstore's Live Auctions are held as live events in real time with bidding activity in person in addition to via telephone, our online bidding platform, and written absentee bids. Live Auctions feature an auctioneer and a real-time livestream. Live Auctions are predominantly multi-consignor sales offering memorabilia from a variety of entertainment titles.

Propstore's timed Online Auctions offer memorabilia via an online auction catalog and online bidding platform, with bidding open for a set duration of time. Online Auctions predominantly offer props, costumes, artwork, and behind-the-scenes memorabilia from single titles, such as a popular film or television show. These auctions are frequently made conducted in partnership with a world-renowned studio, production company, or Hollywood luminary.

All items sold through Propstore's auctions are authenticated and certified with our industry-leading Certificate of Authenticity and its accompanying lifetime guarantee of attribution.

Propstore continues to expand both its live and online offerings to capitalize on the blossoming collectible auction market. Between 2020 and 2021, Propstore held 11 Live Auctions and 15 timed Online Auctions, more than ever in its 23-year history.

Propstore auctions make memorabilia available through the auction model, where prices are determined by bidding activity. Memorabilia sold is this way is only available via the auction, and not by direct purchase.

Memorabilia on Propstore's Buy Now platform, also known as "Daily Listings" or "Fixed Price" memorabilia, are only available for direct purchase. They cannot be purchased via an auction.

Live Auctions: once registered for a Live Auction, bids may be placed in three ways: via telephone bids, absentee bids, or online bids.

Telephone Bidding: Telephone bids are made by calling Propstore directly in real-time during the run of a live auction. To register to make a telephone bid, visit the landing page for each live auction, and click "Register for Phone Bidding". Download and complete the digital form, then return it to auction@propstore.com. After doing so, you will receive an email confirming your registration and pending approval to start bidding by telephone.

Absentee Bidding: Absentee bids are bids made in advance of a Live Auction for anyone unable to participate in the auction in real-time. To register to make an absentee bid, visit the landing page for each live auction, and click "Register for Absentee Bidding". Download and complete the digital form, then return it to auction@propstore.com. After doing so, you will receive an email confirming your registration and pending approval to start bidding via the online catalog.

Online Bidding: Online bids are made via the Propstore website both in advance of and in real-time during each Live Auction. Advance bidders enter a single maximum bid, after which the bidding can only advance if someone else bids against and above that bid. Bidders can watch the auctioneer on the livestream in order to place online bids in real-time. Bids placed in advance will compete with live bidders on the day of the auction. To register to bid online, visit the landing page for each live auction, and click "Register to Bid Online". Fill out the digital form and click SIGNUP. After doing so, you will receive an automated email confirming your registration and pending approval to start bidding.

Online Auctions: For Online Auctions, all bids must be placed online. As with many other auction sites, our online bidders can place bids at any time throughout the auction beginning with the first day of bidding and concluding on the final day of sale. This method allows bidders to place and increase their max bids at any time, and on any computer or smart device, over the run of the auction. To register to bid online, visit the landing page for each online auction, and click "Register to Bid Online". Fill out the digital form and click SIGNUP. After doing so, you will receive an automated email confirming your registration and pending approval to start bidding.

After completing registering for either Telephone, Absentee, or Online Bidding, you will receive an automated email confirming your registration and pending approval to start bidding. Bidders are approved manually, so you may not be able to start bidding instantly. But rest assured: approvals are typically ready to bid within one (1) business day.

Absentee bids must be received at least 24 hours before the sale of the lot(s).

Telephone bidders must be registered 24 hours before the sale of the lot(s).

Online bids can be placed before the auction begins, as well as in real-time as each lot crosses the auction block. The auction will begin promptly at the posted start time and lots will be sold in numerical order. The pacing can be quick, so please arrive to the livestream early to ensure you do not miss the lot you are interested in.

Propstore reserves the right to remove any lot from the auction if at any point it considers the listing misrepresentative of the lot. Lots may be removed from the auction after the release of the catalog for a variety of reason, including but not limited to: more research is needed to confirm the lot's authenticity; the lot's condition has changed since its original listing; the lot requires additional parts or repairs to be functional.

In some cases, unsold lots from Live Auctions are offered as "Last Chance" purchases in the days following the auctions. When an unsold lot becomes available for "Last Chance" purchasing, a purple button labeled "Make an Offer" will appear on the online listing the day after the auction concludes. "Make an Offer" purchasing conclude within two (2) to three (3) weeks after each Live Auction, depending on each particular lot.

Absentee bids can be placed anytime after bidding is opened on the Propstore website and before the live component of the auction has begun. Once the live component has begun, final bids must be placed in real time until the auctioneer drops the hammer.

It is standard practice for costumes to be custom-tailored to suit specific performers by productions. As a result, wardrobe items from films and television rarely adhere to commercial sizes.

For each lot, you will notice a countdown clock. The countdown clock shows how much time is still available for bidding on that lot. Each lot is scheduled to close at a different time through the course of the last day of the auction.

In the last minute of bidding, if a bid is placed, the countdown clock will be extended by one (1) additional minute in order to prevent snipe bids. Once the countdown clock reaches "0," bidding will end, and the lot will be closed.

Please note that while the timer may reflect that the remaining Auction Period is "0," the Auction Period has not necessarily concluded because it has been extended by a bid made within the last minute. It is the bidder's responsibility to refresh the page to determine whether the Auction Period has been extended.

In any event, the Auction Period for any lot shall not be deemed completed until it states "Closed." Please also refrain from attempting to snipe bid, as doing so only adds more time for other bidders to counter your bid on the lot.
