1. Lots will open at 80% of the estimates stated in the catalogue. No bids
under this limit will be accepted.
2. Goods subject to sale in the margin. The hammer price is the basis for the
calculation of the buyer´s premium. Buyers from Germany and
EU-countries will be charged a premium of 23%; the relevant VAT is
already included in this amount. Buyers from countries outside the EU
will be charged a premium of 17,5%. As far as these buyers export the
goods in person or by a third party the relevant VAT will be charged but
refunded after receiving the legal export certificate. In case that we export
the goods the relevant VAT will not be charged. Bidders are responsible
for respecting customs laws of the countries of destination of the lots.
3. Goods subject to tax in full. In exceptional cases the lots are subject to
taxation in full; these lotnumbers will be indicated in a list in the
catalogue. In these cases the buyer´s premium on the hammer price is
17,5% plus the relevant VAT on the entire amount of hammer price, buyer´s
premium and additional costs (f.e. shipping costs).
4. Bidders can submit written bids with the enclosed bid sheet. If you are

another dealer that knows you well as a reference.
