Russo and Steele offer Absentee, Proxy, Phone and Internet Bidding. To begin the process please fill out the form below. Email is the preferred method of communication, so please provide your correct email address.

For our absentee bidder, the preferred method of collateralization is an authorization hold on a major credit card of a minimum of $10,000.00 USD or 10% of your maximum bid limit (whichever is greater.) Another option for collateral is a bank letter of guarantee from your financial institution guaranteeing they will pay up to an agreed-upon sum to Russo and Steele Collector Automobile Auctions for your purchases. Please be advised: Your bank letter must be accompanied by a signed, matching account number check to be a valid form of collateralization.

The bank letter is merely for collateralization; we no longer accept checks as a form of payment. All payments must be received via bank-wire transfer on the first business day following the auction. Need Financing? Click on the J.J. Best Banc link at the bottom of this page.

We strongly encourage bidders to read through the entire Bidder Agreement Provisions. By signing and initialing the Bidder Agreement Provisions the Bidder acknowledges, understands, and agrees to the entirety of these provisions and will abide by them accordingly. 12% is the Buyer’s Premium for Absentee/Online/Phone Bidders.
