Sixbid was founded in 1999. The idea was both irresistible and revolutionary: five auction houses joined forces to upload their auction catalogs on one platform to attract more bidders working together. Success proved them right.

Today, more than 240 auction houses are on Sixbid, including the world’s market leaders. Bidders from 160 countries trust the platform, which is by now available in eight languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. And at Sixbid, internationalization does not only mean that the website is available in the respective language, but also that all email communication is handled in the chosen language.

The figures show how much customers appreciate the internationalization of the website: Sixbid recorded over US$1 billion in hammer prices for 2022 (as of November), achieved in more than 1,000 auction sales.

The catalogs of the auctions held via Sixbid represent a true treasure. Nowadays, it is more important than ever to thoroughly check the provenance of a piece. For this task, the Sixbid Coin Collector’s Archive in connection with the new feature “Ask the Owl” is of valuable help.

In addition, the search shows similar pieces that are offered in other sales on Sixbid during the same period.
In this way, Sixbid helps users to easily find the pieces they are looking for from the comfort of their computer.
