  Auction Bid Assistant — Live Bridge connects your browser to the Auction Bid Assistant app (auction-bid-assistant.com), giving you three powerful tools in one extension:
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  🔍 LOT SEARCH (New in v1.5.2)
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  Search for lots across the-saleroom AND EasyLive Auction at the same time — directly from the extension popup.
  
  - Results open in a full browser tab for easy scanning
  - Large image grid — see exactly what each lot looks like at a glance
  - Real counts: "126 of 1,581 from the-saleroom · 51 of 242 from EasyLive"
  - Filter results by platform (the-saleroom only / EasyLive only / All)
  - Sort by: Default, Date (soonest first), Estimate low to high, Estimate high to low
  - Load more pages with remaining count shown — e.g. "Load more (191 remaining)"
  - Save any lot directly from search results to your Saved Lots list
  - Search results remembered when you close and reopen the popup
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  💾 LOT SAVER
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  Save lots directly from auction lot pages with one click. Works on:
  - the-saleroom.com
  - EasyLive Auction (easyliveauction.com)
  
  Saves the lot URL, description, estimate, auction house, date, and thumbnail image. View your saved lots in the popup, grouped by platform, with images.
  
  Export options:
  - Download as a PDF with images — formatted for printing or sharing
  - Download as a .txt file of URLs
  - Copy URLs to clipboard
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  ⚡ LIVE PRICE BRIDGE
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  During a live auction, the extension reads the current bid price from the auction page and relays it to the Auction Bid Assistant app in real time — so your bid ladder always shows the current ask price without you having to type it manually.
  
  Works with:
  - the-saleroom Live (GAP)
  - EasyLive Auction
  
  Desktop only — open the live auction in one window, Auction Bid Assistant in another, and bid with confidence.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  ℹ️ REQUIREMENTS
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  - Free to use for basic features
  - Auction Bid Assistant account required for full fee calculation and bid ladder features
  - Visit auction-bid-assistant.com to get started
  - Live Bridge requires desktop Chrome or Firefox (not available on mobile)

  Search across 7 major auction platforms at once — and see everything in one place.
  
  Type any keyword and Auction Bid Assistant searches the-saleroom.com, EasyLive Auction, eBay, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously. Results open in a full browser tab with large images, platform badges, real counts ("126 of 1,581 from the-saleroom · 312 from eBay"), estimates side by side, and one-click saving. No account needed on any platform.
  
  WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SAVED LOTS
  - Print as a PDF — full lot details with images, estimates, and lot numbers
  - Export as CSV — for spreadsheets or importing elsewhere
  - Open any lot on its platform with one click directly from the extension
  
  SAVE LOTS WHILE BROWSING
  A 🔨 Save Lot button appears on every lot page across the-saleroom.com, EasyLive, Invaluable, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld. Tap it to save the lot — no copying URLs, no switching tabs. Everything lands in the extension popup, ready to print, export or open.
  
  FEATURED AUCTIONS
  Upcoming sales with full catalogues, live countdown timers, estimates, images, and direct lot links — curated and updated by the auction house.
  
  LIVE BID BRIDGE — OPTIONAL
  When used alongside the free app at auction-bid-assistant.com, the extension reads the asking price from the live auction page and highlights it on your bid ladder in real time. You always see your true total cost at every increment. This is an optional feature — the extension works fully as a search and save tool without it.
  
  PRIVACY
  All data stays in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Full privacy policy at auction-bid-assistant.com/privacy-extension.html
  
  ---
  The free app at auction-bid-assistant.com adds a full bid ladder, fee calculator for 16 currencies, and sale management. The extension and app work together or independently.

  Auction Bid Assistant — Live Bridge is a free browser extension for auction bidders on the-saleroom.com and EasyLive Auction.
  
  SAVE LOTS WHILE YOU BROWSE
  As you browse auction catalogues, a 🔨 Save Lot button appears on every lot page. Tap it to save the lot to your list — including the lot number, description, estimate, and auction date. When you're done browsing, open the extension popup to review your saved lots, download them as a text file, or copy the URLs to your clipboard.
  
  LIVE PRICE BRIDGE
  When you're bidding in a live auction, the extension reads the current asking price and lot number from the auction page and feeds it to the Auction Bid Assistant app in real time. Your bid ladder updates automatically as the auctioneer calls the price — so you always know your total cost at every increment without having to calculate manually mid-auction.
  
  WORKS WITH
  - the-saleroom.com — full support (Save Lot + Live Bridge)
  - EasyLive Auction — full support (Save Lot + Live Bridge)
  - GAP Live via the-saleroom — Live Bridge supported
  - Any other platform — manual mode (the app still works, you just update prices yourself)
  
  PAIR IT WITH THE FREE APP
  This extension works alongside the free Auction Bid Assistant web app at https://www.auction-bid-assistant.com/ — where you can import your saved lots in bulk, set max budgets, calculate total costs including buyer's premium and VAT, and run a full bid ladder during live auctions. The app works without the extension, but the two together give you the full experience.
  
  PRIVACY
  The extension never places bids, never modifies any page content, never collects personal data, and never sends anything to any server. All saved lot data stays in your browser. Full privacy policy at https://www.auction-bid-assistant.com/privacy-extension.html
