aka "left-bids" or "pre-bids"
- Absentee bids let you place your maximum bid on an item before the live auction begins. During the live show, we’ll continue bidding on your behalf up to your max bid — just like leaving a bid with a traditional auctioneer.
- When you place an absentee bid, the system sets the current bid conservatively — just enough to keep you in the lead without revealing your full amount.
- The current bid shown on each lot reflects all confirmed absentee bids and updates automatically as new bids come in.
- When the live auction starts, bidding will begin at the current bid. The auctioneer will continue bidding on behalf of absentee bidders up to their max bids.
- Because absentee bids can arrive seconds apart, the current bid you see may not always include bids still being processed. Refresh the page for the most up-to-date information.

A grouping of four vintage glass medical syringes, offered as medical oddities and not for use. Two are B-D Yale hypodermic syringes manufactured by Becton, Dickinson and Company, Rutherford, New Jersey, each retained in its original box: one is the No. 5Y model, graduated 1/5 cc, capacity 5 cc, with metal finger grips and a matching numbered barrel and plunger marked "W 4448"; the other is the No. 2Y model, graduated 1/10 cc and minims, capacity 2 cc, with the barrel marked "B-D Yale / Becton, Dickinson & Co." Both boxes are labeled "Resistance Glass" and "Made in U.S.A." The boxes show wear and staining; the syringes appear intact.
The third syringe is a 10 cc glass barrel syringe with a blue glass plunger, graduated in 2 cc increments to 10 cc, marked "Propper Mfg. Co." in script on the barrel, with a metal Luer tip fitting. The fourth is a B-D Yale Luer-Lok syringe with a glass barrel and metal Luer-Lok tip assembly and finger grips, graduated in minims, with red printed markings; this example shows heavy tarnishing and oxidation to the metal components.
Assorted sizes from 3-1/4" L to 5-1/8" L.
