Auctioneer's Practice

Bids are normally in stages of 10% of the reserve price (from a full hundred or thousand from € 100,00 to € 300,00, from € 1000,00 to € 3000,00 etc., above this by 50,00 €, 500,00 € etc.), up to € 100,00 but not less than € 5,00.

Purchase Price | VAT

A buyers premium of 23% will be added on the bid plus VAT of the premium. It takes standard taxation.

Export

Export deliveries to non-EU countries are exempt from VAT.

Export deliveries within the EU are exempt from VAT with a valid VAT ID Nos..
