How SooMi works

Discover native SooMi listings and lots from New Zealand auction houses in one feed. Search, filter and save items to your watchlist. Bidding on external lots takes place with the auction house, using the original source link and their terms.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bid on every lot through SooMi?

You can bid on eligible native SooMi auctions. External auction-house lots are for discovery; follow the source link to register and bid with that auction house.

Why is a category empty?

Some imported lots do not yet have a category. Browse all auctions or use search to find them. An empty category does not mean the entire marketplace is empty.

Watchlists and reminders

Create an account to save lots, manage your watchlist, sell and bid on eligible native SooMi auctions. Use the bookmark on a listing to save it. Your watchlist is available from My activity and your account menu. Saving a lot does not place a bid. The watch service defaults to reminder preferences at 12 hours and 1 hour before closing, where enough time remains. Per-watch preferences can also include 4 hours. Closing-time reminders follow the preferences saved for each watched lot and can be managed from your watchlist. External bids still take place with the auction house.

General marketplace listings and auction discovery are live.

Dedicated Motors and Property marketplaces are Upcoming.
