Attending Live Auctions

PBA Galleries is a full-service auction house working to make the auction experience exciting and rewarding for all our clients. At our Live Gallery auctions, we continue a long-established trend of offering the finest collectible properties to our clients.

Sale days at PBA Galleries are typically on Thursdays. Items offered for sale may be previewed at our gallery the Tuesday and Wednesday prior to the auction from 9:00am to 5:00pm or by appointment. Property can also be previewed the day of the auction until 12:30pm. Our Live Gallery auctions are held at the PBA Galleries Auction Room, located across the hall from PBA Galleries on 133 Kearny St. between Sutter and Post Streets. Parking is available at many garages and public transportation is also convenient. The Montgomery Street BART Station is almost next door to the Galleria Park Hotel and most downtown buses have stops nearby.

Registering to bid at our Live Gallery auctions is a simple procedure. It can be done in advance through our website or in person at the auction house. If you are unable to attend the sale, we also accept absentee bids. Absentee bidding entails filling out a bid sheet and sending it to PBA Galleries via e-mail, regular mail or by phoning the bids in before the auction takes place. Another bidding option is telephone bidding for those clients who are unable to attend the auction but would like to bid on the phone during the sale. Space for telephone bidding is limited, so it is important to make arrangements to bid as early as possible. If you have any questions regarding bidding at our Live Gallery auctions, please feel free to contact us for further information.
