The auction shall be conducted on behalf of and for the account of a third party.

The bidding is carried out in euro. Calling prices are the limit prices named in the catalogues. Prices are usually augmented by about 5-10% of the previous bid in Euro.

All lots coming up for the auction can be inspected prior to the sale. Objects are auctioned without warranty and liability of the orderer and auctioneer for constitution and description. Complaints after the auction remain unaffected. The items are used and will be sold in the same condition as they were during the acceptance of the bid. The effective constitution of the object (even not mentioned in the catalogue or the internet specifically) is the agreed constitution (§434 Abs. 1 Satz 1 BGB).The auctioneer reserves the right to auction, unite, separate and/or withdraw objects out of the order mentioned in the catalogue.

The auctioneer is able to withdraw or deny the acceptance of a bid on behalf of the orderer.

A bid is accepted if no higher bid is submitted after the third call of the auctioneer.

In case several persons bid the same amount and after the third bid there is no higher bid, the winner is decided by casting lots. If its not possible to immediately agree on an acceptance the object is auctioned again. This is also valid if erroneously a higher bid which was made on time has been overseen.

The acceptance of a bid obligates the buyer to take the object and payment has to be made within 6 days after the auction/receipt of invoice. Payments can be made by cash, bank acknowledged cheques or via bank transfer. Payments of foreign buyers who have placed bids by writing via post, email or telephone are due within 10 days after date of invoice. Payment is to be done by cash, bank acknowledged cheques or via bank transfer. Property remains with the seller until complete payment. The risk of damage turns over to the buyer immediately after acceptance of the bid. If the acceptance of the bid is reserved the bidder is bound to his bid. If the customer is new to the auction a cash depot / liquidity acknowledgement by a bank can be claimed.

The buyer`s premium of 20% plus valid VAT on the commission is to be paid on the successful winning bid.

Due to German resale right, § 26 copyright, the buyer has to pay 2,5% of the hammer price. The dutiable objects are marked with a small star in the title.

In general no VAT on export deliveries will be charged. Within the EU this is only valid to companies with identification number. The VAT is repaid as soon as the foreign customers certifies the export permit.

Generally the buyer is responsible for the transport of the objects he bought.  If requested we are able to arrange the transport of small objects. Please find some detailed information regarding the prices on "shipping".

On delay of payment the auctioneer is able to choose either performance of the contract or compensation caused by non-performance and reauction the object at the expense of the buyer. The buyer is liable to resulting losses and loses his rights caused by the former acceptance of his bid. He cannot claim optional additional returns and is not permitted to submit a new bid.

The auctioneer is able to raise / sue purchase money, payment delays and collateral services on his own behalf representing the deliverer.

These auction conditions are also applying to all objects which remain unsold during the auction and are part of the three-week post auction sale. The post auction sale is part of the auction.
