While I have bought several items at the Bently's auctions, none were remote.
They do have bidding by Proxy, sometimes via phone, or by a maximum bid (a la
ebay) and you need to set it up with the front office, I was out-bid on
several items by some proxy bidder in Florida once. I think there are more
details on their main web site. I have found them to be very professional and
will go out of thier way to help.
Cheers

Has anyone succeeded in bidding/buying from a Bentleys auction
from a distance? I called them, and couldn't quite communicate
with their front office staff. They said, repeatedly, that they'd
package up anything I won, but that I'd have to arrange for pickup.
I couldn't get across to them that I wanted *them* to drop the
package in the mail/UPS/whatever. It seems like they're willing to
do 90% of what's necessary for off-site buyers, but.....??
Alternatively, is anyone going to the sale this weekend? :)
(I'm interested in a couple of laptop size items.)
thanks,
Stan
