1. The auction is conducted on behalf and for the account of the owners of the goods and is subject to
Austrian Trade regulations. Bids at the sale, by writing or telephone are taken to imply full acceptance
of the condition of sale.
2. Description: The description of the material and the grading in the catalogue have been executed
with great care. The photographs are part of the description and in case of doubt the text is
authoritative. The prices printed in the catalogue are minimum prices in Euro and bids below cannot
be accepted
3. Auctions procedure: Written bids and special wishes regarding a top limit i.e. the amount to which
you would bid if you were attending the auctions yourself, or either/or bids etc. will be executed in the
buyer's interest, free of charge, but we don't take any responsibility for it. Errors in bidding are the sole
responsibility of the bidder and we strongly suggest mail bidders check the bid sheets carefully.
Orders, when placed by telephone, are accepted only at the senders risk and the intending purchaser
must give notice prior to the auction date. Bidders unknown to us must establish references before the
auction, and deposit 25% of the bids submitted. This deposit will be applied to successful bids, with
overage refunded. Clients have also the possibility to bid on all our auctions live by internet but must
be registered at least 24 hourse before the auction starts. For registration please visit our homepage

In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence. The auctioneer will normally increase
the bidding in 5-10% jumps. The highest bidder shall be the purchaser at a price which lies 10% above
the penultimate bid. In the event of any dispute during floor bidding, the auctioneer has the right to reopen
the bidding or recall the lot and put it up for sale again. In case of error in the catalogue the
auctioneer will announce the correction and will sell the lot subject to this change, not regarding the
written bids unless the intending purchaser has given notice that he is aware of it. All floor sales are
final.
4. Prices. The hammered-price is according to VAT-regulations the basis for adding the buyer's
premium of 15% and the VAT to each lot. The capital letter left to the lot number indicates the VATrate
for each lot:
B= freed from VAT. Usually prevailing legal currency.
D= the buyer's premium is 20% in which the VAT of 20% on the commission is included.
V= To the hammered price and the buyer's premium of 15% is added a VAT-rate of 20%, payable by
all residents of EU countries.
Lots which are not marked with a letter are subject to the reduced VAT rate of 10%. To the
hammered price and the buyer’s premium of 15% a VAT of 10 %) is added (=hammered price + 15%
buyer's premium plus 10% VAT).
Dealers within the EU, except Austria, receive the goods free of tax upon presentation of their VAT
identification number.
Any buyer exterior to EU pays only a commission of 15% and the costs for delivery and insurance, if
H.D. Rauch exports the goods. Clients who want to export the goods by themselves can ask for export
papers for which the freighter takes € 50,--.
5. Shipment: Shipping is at the expense and risk of the buyer; handling and insurance charges will be
added to invoices (Minimum charges: Europe: € 10,-, Non-European countries: € 15,-). We will
arrange for the packing and dispatch your purchase worldwide. Insurance regulations require that
losses or damage in shipment be reported to us immediately. All fees and taxes due abroad are the
buyer's responsibility. Each bidder whether successful or not will receive within three weeks after the
auction a list with the prices realized.
6. Payment: Sales strictly against cash in Euro. If nothing else is arranged in advance, bidders on the
floor have to pay immediately. All other customers have to pay within 10 days upon receipt of goods or
in case of advance payment, after an invoice is sent. After the period of 10 days has expired 1%
interest are charged per month. Ownership of the lots shall not pass until payment in full of the
purchased price is made. The buyer is responsible for attorney and other judicial fees and expenses
involved in collection of any overdue debt. If the invoice is paid by credit card or paypal please
understand that there is a 3 % surcharge for the use of the credit card. For a small amount (up to
