Contact the auction team →A few things you might be wondering.
Can I bid on just one item?
Yes. Each item is an individual auction lot, even though it belongs to a room and house collection.
What is a reserve?
The seller’s minimum acceptable selling price. If bidding ends below that amount, the item remains unsold and no invoice is created.
Are there fees on top of my bid?
Each sale shows its buyer’s premium and any tax on that premium. Your item page calculates the total before you bid. All prices are in euros.
What happens if I’m outbid?
Your account receives a notification and the item page updates its price. You can bid again while the auction is open.
Can I sell items from several rooms?
Yes. Contact the auction team to arrange a collection spanning several rooms.
Do you offer delivery?
Items are collected from the property. Any alternative arrangement must be agreed with the auction team before bidding.
