What if I don’t pay my Rolex bid for antiquorum
Yes, I messed up. I accidentally bidded on a Rolex about 5000 euros on the online antiquorum platform and I won. It’s my first time bidding but I’m curious what if I ignore them when I win the bid? Will I get into deep deep trouble?
I know I messed up big time, I’m wondering if I’ll get into trouble as I regretted my decision. Sounds stupid I know… |

You need to honor your commitment, "mistake" or not.

Honor your commitment . He apparently accidentally placed a bid, i would honor nothing. This isn’t a world war, it’s not that serious. Likely this will get you booted off the site but you won’t own a watch you didn’t want. |

Unfortunately, this is the problem with some in todays society. "Accidently" and or "Regret", as stated above contact the company and explain the situation. I'm having a hard time believing it was an accident. And if you think your word is not "that serious", you are part of the problem, You've wasted someones time, so although it may not be serious, it's irresponsible. Oh and here's some emojis

If it’s not an accident, you’re exactly right. If it was indeed an accident, no chance I’m paying it nor would you. I can agree it’s hard to make a bidding mistake, typically it’s a multiple click process. But their could be platform issues, I’ve had it happen on eBay before. You act like he committed to join the service with this my word is my bond act. They simply go to the next highest bidder and offer it up. There is a reason platforms have this built in, it’s not an uncommon occurrence. It’s annoying, but it happens. Accident is different then regret. If it’s truly a mistake in the buyers end or the platforms end, he should not be paying. If it’s regret, that’s unfortunate. Pay the bill. |

Entering into a legitimate auction is no different than any other "contract".
Read your obligations and expectations about the particular auction you are involved with. You do have legal obligations and recourse, as does the auction house.

Also, why in the hell is the OP even bidding on the watch if he never wanted it? I'm having a hard time with that. You bid, you won, pay the bill... |

Accidental bid and change of mind during Antiquorum auction after getting highest bid
Yesterday I joined the Antiquorum Monaco auction as an online bidder. However during the session the online bidding platform was having glitches and bugs, connection issues and I may have accidentally got a highest bid for a Rolex that I do not want… I should have be more careful, I am curious what should I do if I want to back out as a highest bidder?
The watch isn’t too pricey, it’s a vintage, I wonder if I should email Antiquorum and tell them I do not want the highest bid? If I do not pay, will anything happen? Please advice, I’ll definitely be careful next time. Will they file a legal claim or get me in trouble? |

You should call them and talk to them. Please report back here with their response.

I'm accidentally calling the idea of accidentally bidding pure nonsense.

... accidentally bid on a watch I did not want....
Accidentally? I don't for a second believe that. WTF were you even bidding on it ? To make it more expensive for bidders that did want it? Sh&ts and giggles to feel like a big boy ? So, no, not the end of the world, but pretty juvenile.

Accidents do happen..... You should have called them right away and asked them to retract it. Too late now maybe. I expect a ban or a fee charged to your credit card.

Pay for it and maintain your credibility.
Resell it down the track. The way Rolex prices are going you can’t lose.

Just an update
They successfully retract my bid and cancelled my invoice with no questions asked. Thankfully. I will not be bidding anytime soon. I agree it’s my mistake in the first place so no excuses, the main issue I had was the lag and latency issues causing the website to be slightly glitched, and the site was messy and I clicked the button just when it was at the highest bid. It’s my first time bidding as well, I’ll definitely not do this in future. Thank you for your replies! |

Consequences and taking responsibility for one's actions are no longer required in life.

Many of the most valuable lessons in life are the ones hardest learned.
If you can genuinely and credibly explain your error to the auction site, they may discharge you from your responsibility. If this is just buyer's remorse disguised as some sort of error not in your control, you have just learned something which you will profit from for the rest of your life. In time you may come out ahead. Of course, this may only apply to people who are serious when they commit to something. It's hard to spot the fakes from the people of genuine character - until they let you down. |
