Setting up a Christie’s account gives you access to a world of extraordinary art and objects. As soon as you create an account, you can:

• Save your interests for personalised recommendations
• Follow lots and auctions and keep track of them in your account
• Access lot condition information

Verify your identity and you can also:

• Register and bid in auctions
• Access Christie’s LIVE™, our online bidding platform for live auctions
• View your invoices, arrange shipping and checkout online
• Track the progress of any items you're selling

There are a few different ways to buy with Christie’s. You can bid for a work in one of our regularly held live or online auctions. Check the auction calendar to see what's next. You can also buy art through our Private Sales service, which offers works available for immediate purchase. Browse by category, discover something new in our thematic selling exhibitions, or contact a specialist if you have a specific item in mind.

Before you register, you'll first need to create a Christie’s account and verify your identity. Once you’ve done so, you can register to bid in any auction.

For online auctions, sign into your account, go to the auction page and click ‘Register’. You’ll be asked to confirm some account details, such as your preferred shipping address. You can register before the auction, or any time during.

For live auctions, you can register in two ways depending on how you want to bid. For in-person and telephone bidding, register via Client Services. For absentee and Christie’s LIVE™ bidding, sign into your account and register on the auction page. We recommend registering at least 24 hours before the auction start time.

Please visit the Christie's Frequently Asked Questions page.

Whether you’re interested in consigning a car for auction or for private treaty, the best way to get started is by contacting a Gooding Christie's Specialist at consign@goodingco.com. You may also fill out and submit our Consignment Inquiry Form online. Once you have submitted your information, a Specialist will assess the vehicle and contact you to discuss the best platform for its sale.

To bid at a Gooding Christie's auction, you must first complete and submit the Bidder Registration Application available on our website. You have the option of submitting your application through our website or downloading a PDF version. Please note that a Bank Letter of Guarantee is required to bid at our auctions. A sample Bank Letter is provided within our application. If you choose to download the PDF application, you can email, fax or mail the completed application to Gooding Christie's using the contact details provided on the forms.

Once your Bidder Registration Application has been submitted, we will review your information and contact you for any additional details we may require or to let you know that you are approved to bid with us.

Your bidder registration packet will be available for you to pick up when you check in at Gooding Christie's site during the viewing and auction days.

Congratulations! Our PostSale team will be in touch in approximately 1-2 business days after the final lot has been sold with your invoice, along with further instructions regarding payment, lot removal, and ownership transfers.

You may view all vehicles on our website by visiting our Vehicles page. From there you can apply search filters and tailor your results within Upcoming Auction Vehicles, Past Auctions or All Vehicles.

We have designed our website to be compatible with the largest number of browsers possible. However if you are having difficulties viewing the online catalogue or another area of our website, please contact us at 310.899.1960 or info@goodingco.com for technical assistance.

If you have already purchased a catalogue, you may bring it to the auction to redeem for admission for two. If you have not purchased a catalogue, individual admission wristbands are available for purchase in the entry tent of each Gooding Christie's auction site. A wristband allows access and re-entry to all viewing days and the auctions. Please be advised, priority seating in the auction tent is reserved for registered bidders and their guests. The admission cost will vary based on venue, so please reference our Auction pages for details on each event.

We do not ship wristbands out with our catalogues. If you have received our catalogue prior to an auction, you may bring the book itself or the order confirmation to our auction site and redeem it for two admission wristbands.

Don’t worry, we never run out of admission wristbands for our guests. Admission is available through the last day of each auction.

We do not provide VIP passes, as we strive to offer a VIP-level experience for every guest who attends our events. We do offer priority seating for bidders and their guests separate from general seating, to allow our auctioneer to facilitate the sale in the smoothest and most efficient manner possible.

Gooding Christie's does not sell tickets to the Concours. To purchase tickets for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, please visit the official Pebble Beach Concours website.

We offer live streaming of all our auctions, both in browser-based and mobile device formats. A link directing you to the live broadcast will be made available on Gooding Christie's homepage and throughout the site on the day of each event, and the live broadcast itself will begin streaming about 15 minutes before each auction.

Yes. Gooding Christie's offers Telephone, Absentee, and Online bidding for all our auctions. Please visit our Register to Bid page and select your preferred method of bidding for further instructions.

Please note that we do not currently offer submission of Telephone & Absentee Bid Applications through our online registration system.

An estimated 12-15 lots will pass over the block within one hour. This range should help you in determining when a chosen lot will be up for sale on the block.

We require a current title in the current owner’s name in order to offer a car for sale at auction. If the title is in a business or entity name, please let us know immediately so all consignment paperwork and agreements are consistent. We are also able to offer cars at auction on a valid Bill of Sale. Please let us know if a car will be sold on Bill of Sale as soon as possible, as we provide this information to potential buyers in the catalogue. If you are selling a car that is registered overseas, then we require whatever title form is valid in that country, for example the V5 form from the UK or the Fahrzeugbrief from Germany. Feel free to contact us with specific questions regarding your overseas title.

Please provide title work for your consigned car to our Business Affairs Team. They can be reached directly at 310.526.0585 or inquiry@goodingco.com.

Please provide accompanying items for your consigned car to our Business Affairs Assistant, Metz Garcia. She can be reached directly at 310.526.0585 or metz@goodingco.com.

Cars need to arrive on-site several days in advance of viewing, so that we may properly catalogue all accompanying items and detail your car for presentation at viewing and for the auction. For our specific arrival and receiving dates for each auction, please contact the Business Affairs Team at 310.899.5171 or inquiry@goodingco.com.

If you are transporting your car within the United States, we have a few select truck carriers that we can recommend. We also work closely with Intercity Lines, whose representatives are available to help arrange post-sale transportation at each of our auction sites. If you are transporting overseas, we work with Cosdel as our shipping broker, who will reach out to the overseas agent to coordinate. There are many choices, however the most popular has been CARS UK/USA. If you use a different overseas agent, they may not necessarily work with Cosdel for import, which is still fine.

Our recommended transport companies are briefed on our preferred delivery locations. If you are transporting your car independently, please contact the Business Affairs Team at 310.899.5171 or our Logistics Manager, Nathan McNeil, at 805.407.2428 for car delivery instructions.

If you have any additional questions about transporting and delivering your car to our auction site, please contact our Business Affairs Team at 310.899.5171 or inquiry@goodingco.com.
