Bidding Increments

At AP saleroom, bidding follows a structured ladder to ensure the auction remains fair and efficient. The current bid amount determines the minimum “step” or increment the next bid must follow.

Current Increment Table

The table below outlines the bidding steps used during our sales:

From	To	Increment
£0	£100	£5
£100	£200	£10
£200	£500	£20
£500	£1,000	£50
£1,000	£2,000	£100
£2,000	£5,000	£200
£5,000	£10,000	£500
£10,000	£20,000	£1,000
£20,000	£50,000	£2,000
£50,000	£100,000	£5,000
£100,000	£200,000	£10,000

Above £200,000 the ladder continues in the same pattern. The increments table on each lot page always shows the current steps for that sale.
