In the event of:

One single pre-auction bid on a lot

In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded at the starting price even if the sole bid received is higher (the amount of the pre-auction bid indicates the maximum bid the bidder is willing to place).

Example: Starting price € 1,000 – Single pre-auction bid € 1,500 – Lot awarded at € 1,000

Multiple pre-auction bids of the same amount on the same lot

In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the earlier bidder.

Multiple pre-auction bids of different amounts on the same lot

In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the highest bidder. The hammer price is calculated by adding to the amount of the next lowest bid a predetermined increment, as set out in the table below (Table A).

Example: customer A bid € 1200 - customer B bid € 1800. Customer B does not win at the award price of € 1800 but at € 1300. That is, the automatic increase of € 100 laid down in Table A for bids in the 1000-1999 € range is applied to the amount of the next lowest bid.
