Conditions for the bidder
By participating in the auction, the bidder acknowledges and agrees to the below mentioned auction conditions:
I. Commission Business
The ?Kunstauktionshaus Schlosser GmbH & Co. KG, Bamberg? sells by auction in their own name as commission agent for third-party account. The auction sale is voluntary, there is no right to know the name of the seller. Items belonging to the auction house are specified in the list of owners.
II. Bidding
1. Bidders unknown to the auction house or who are bidding for the first time are requested to prove their identity, respectively if they are acting on behalf of third party, to produce their power of agency.
2. Bids can be made personally, in writing or by phone. Written bids must come in, not later than the day before the auction. Telephone bids require a written confirmation by the bidder.
3. The auctioneer reserves the right to combine, divide, to withdraw lots or to ignore the published order.
III. Auction
1. The auction of an item starts with the announcement of the estimate price. Estimate price is the price indicated in the catalogue. It serves as a clue to the commercial value.
2. In certain cases the announcement can be below the estimate price.
3. A bid for an item given before the end of an auction remains valid until the end of the auction. The successful bid price has been found, when no higher bid is delivered after the auctioneer has announced a bid three times, provided the limit price has been reached or exceeded.
4. The auctioneer has the right to reject a bid without explanation. If a bid is rejected, the previous bid will be the current high bid.
5. In case of double bids drawing lots will decide. In case of disagreement regarding who is the successful buyer, e.g. if a duly given bid was overlooked or other doubt exists, the auctioneer is entitled to re-offer and re-sell the item in question.
6. If the limit has not been met, the auctioneer can knock down conditionally. The bidder will then be committed to his bid for 20 days. After 20 days the bid expires unless the bidder has been informed in writing, that he is the successful bidder. If the bid is not approved by the consignor, then the item can be sold to another bidder for a higher price without notifying the above mentioned conditional high bidder.
7. The knock down of the hammer implies obligation to take over the item and prompt payment. With the knock down all risks are passed to the buyer except that ownership is depending of a complete payment.
8. The flow of the auction is decided by the auctioneer. He will also decide the order in which the items are auctioned.
IV. Buyers Premium
