Auction Details:

All price indications are estimated values.

These prices do not yet include VAT, i.e. 7% VAT will be added when the invoice is issued.

For those who cannot attend the public auction in person, there is the possibility to place bids via the online portal or submit written bidding orders.

In the case of written orders, the auctioneer will aim to secure the item at the best possible price.

Example:

The estimated price of a lot is €100. You place a bid of €120.

a) No one else bids – you win the item for €100.

b) Someone bids €100 – you win the item for €110.

c) Someone bids €130 – you are outbid.

In special cases and upon agreement with the auctioneer, bidding by telephone during the auction is also possible.

The price you specify in your order is the hammer price, excluding buyer’s premium and VAT.

The buyer’s premium (auction fee) is 16.5%.

The total price is calculated as follows:

Hammer price + 16.5% buyer’s premium + shipping costs (if applicable) = Subtotal + 7% VAT = Final price

Items can be paid for and taken immediately after the auction.

For bids placed via the auction portal or written orders, items can be shipped upon request. In this case, shipping and packaging costs are borne by the buyer.
