You can see the lots in the current Rapaport Auctions auction on Rapaport Trade. Click Open for Bids in the left menu, just under Diamonds. You find the lots on Rapaport Trade, but you bid on the Rapaport Auctions site.
How auction lots differ from other listings
Each lot shows an Auction label with its closing date.
There's no price and no price calculator on auction lots.
The Stock # is the auction lot number. You'll need it to find the lot in the auction catalog.
The diamond page has an Auction box with the closing time, the viewing dates and place, and a Place Bid button.
Bidding, approval and payment all happen on the Rapaport Auctions site, not on Rapaport Trade.
How to place a bid
Click Open for Bids in the left menu and open the lot you want.
Click Place Bid. The Rapaport Auctions catalog opens in a new tab.
Use Search by Lot# and enter the lot's Stock # from Rapaport Trade.
Good to know: Search the catalog with the Stock #, not the Lot # at the top of the diamond page. The Lot # is Rapaport Trade's own listing number, so it won't find the lot in the auction catalog.
