Bidding online

Would you like to participate in the bidding? Please fill in your maximum bidding amount (excl. 28% premium) in the grey field. The bidding advances in fixed increments (see table below), the computer will show what the minimum of your bidding has to be. Your bid will only be activated when you press the button ‘Submit bid’. The computer will compare your bid directly with other bids on this lot, and will always bid one step higher than the bid which is valid at that time until your maximum has been reached.

Example

Your maximum bid is € 200,-. Another person is bidding for the maximum of € 150,-. At that moment your bid will be € 160,- (bidding one step higher than your opponent). In the field ‘Status’ you will read: ‘At this moment you are the highest bidder’.

If your bid has been topped:

It is possible that, when you have just left a bid, your bid is being topped (you can read this in the field ‘status’). In this case somebody else has left the same or a higher maximum bid for this lot. Of course you can increase your bid at any time until the last day of the auction.

All bids will increase with the fixed increments above.

Ending the auction

To better mimic a traditional hammer auction our auction will not stop automatically on Monday evening 21:00 o’clock as it used to do. Each time someone places a bid on an active lot, the closing time is extended by another two minutes until no more bids are placed. This extension time, moreover, begins at the moment of the last bid. When there are no more bids on any item in our auction the auction will be closed and the invoices will be send at that time.

Information by e-mail

All bids will be confirmed to you by e-mail. Also, you will receive an e-mail whenever anyone has topped your maximum bid. These e-mail options can be annulled in the field ‘your personal information’. We inform you that on the last day of the auction from 18.00 hours local time you will not receive any e-mail from us with information on your bids. This is to alleviate the system in the last hours of the auction. After the online auction you will receive the invoice of your successful bids by e-mail. To confirm this, an invoice will be sent by mail as well.
