Bidding
The quickest and easiest way to get started with Langton’s auctions is to login to your customer account.
If you are new to Langton's, you can create a customer account in just a few minutes.
Before you start bidding, we recommend that you carefully review all of the information presented on the lot page.
To place a bid:
- Enter the most you are prepared to pay for the lot in the bid box. Take a moment to check you are happy with the amount that you have entered.
- Click ‘place bid' to submit.
If you are outbid, you will be alerted by email with an outbid notification. The lot status in your bid list will change from winning to outbid. Repeat the steps above to increase your bid.
Please note that a valid credit card saved against your customer account is necessary in order to bid at auction with Langton's.
An autobid is the maximum price that you are willing to pay when bidding on a lot. During an auction, the autobid system will place bids on your behalf until your maximum is reached. Langton's autobids increase in $1 increments.
If bidding goes above your maximum autobid, you will be alerted by email with an outbid notification. You can easily increase your bid via your bid list, accessed through your customer account.
If you win the lot, you will only pay $1 more than the bidder below you, not your set maximum bid amount.
- Set your bids to the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the lot, as opposed to making a new bid when you are outbid.
- Ensure that your autobid exceeds the lots reserve.
- Keep an eye on your bid list. This is the easiest and more convenient way to keep track of your bidding.
When an auction closes, you will receive an email notification to advising you of the lots you have won. Your bid list. will also reflect whether you have won or lost a lot.
Langton's 2nd chance offer gives you the opportunity to buy wines you may have missed if your bid fell short of the reserve.
If your final bid fell short of the vendor's reserve on auction close, you will have the opportunity to increase your final offer in order to meet the reserve and win the item.
You will receive notification of any 2nd chance offer via email upon auction close. You will have 24 hours to accept this offer.
Second chance offers are 'first-in-best-dressed'–be quick to ensure you are successful in securing the lot!
Membership of our services is free.
A Buyer's Premium, (16.5% inc GST) is added to the winning bid when the auction closes and is applied only on successful bids.
We recommend you check your customer account for any outstanding invoices requiring payment. Actioning payment will unblock your account and allow you to start bidding again. If you don't believe you have any outstanding invoices, please contact us on 1300 946 347 or get in touch via email.

We recommend that buyers of older wine make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullage and the condition of corks and labels
If you feel that the wine does not reflect the condition description, please contact us to make arrangements for the return of these items. Our team will then be able to review your purchase and determine whether a replacement or refund is actionable.
We stand by our reputation, so if you are unhappy with your purchase, contact us and we will do everything we can to help.
